Carmel Central Park Monon Community Center Winter Indoor Waterpark & Gym

About this adventure

Spanning 146,000 square feet within Carmel's Central Park, the Monon Community Center is a world-class recreational complex that offers the perfect remedy for winter cabin fever. While snow covers the Monon Greenway outside, families can slip into their swimsuits inside the climate-controlled indoor Aquatics Center. Kept at a warm 84°F to 88°F, the indoor leisure pool features a zero-depth entry ramp that allows toddlers to splash safely, interactive water spray features, a gentle current water channel, and a swirling indoor flume waterslide for older children. On the dry recreation side, the gymnasium hosts weekly open tot gym sessions where toddlers can run, jump, and play with soft foam balls, tunnels, and trikes on safe hardwood floors. The facility also features an elevated indoor walking track and a healthy snack bar.
