## About

Spanning 205 expansive acres in Plainfield, Hummel Park is one of central Indiana's most complete family recreation parks, situated along both banks of scenic White Lick Creek. In late autumn, the park's multi-mile network of paved pedestrian trails provides a delightful setting for holiday family walks surrounded by mature cottonwood trees and open parkland. A prominent pedestrian suspension bridge spans the creek, connecting extensive athletic complexes, fishing lakes with wooden fishing piers, and multiple playground areas. Children enjoy the large, inclusive playground structures featuring sensory panels, slides, and swings. Plentiful lakeside gazebos and sheltered picnic tables offer relaxed settings for sharing Thanksgiving leftovers and holiday treats.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Exceptionally smooth, wide paved trails loop through the entire 205-acre park and cross the suspension bridge with zero steps or steep inclines.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: The Hummel Park Performing Arts Center and pavilion rest areas offer heated family restrooms with clean baby-changing facilities.
• Age Suitability: Welcoming to all ages, from infants in wagons to grandparents enjoying lake vistas and accessible walking paths.
• Sensory Tips: Expansive open acreage provides a quiet, uncrowded environment with gentle creek breezes, bird chirping, and ample room to spread out.
