Windisch Park

This park was dedicated in memory or Carl and Anita Windisch in 2019. The land that the park sits was donated by their family in their honor. This park has been the benefactor of numerous Eagle Scouts projects, the flower beds, the gazebo, picnic tables, and benches to name a few.This is a what you see is what you get kind of park. It is a small park tucked away in a neighborhood. It is nice and has a small parking lot. There is a small porta-potty in the parking lot to use and the park is relatively well maintained. There is a small paved path on the perimeter of the park, 5 laps gets you a mile. The path doubles as a story walk and has benches along it to sit. You will also find a couple of picnic tables under some trees and a share a book kiosk along the trail. The park has a wooden statue of an eagle sitting on a brick pedestal. It is dedicated to William Torrence, a boy scout that was instrumental in establishing the park.The heart of the park is a playground area that is accessible and lined with wood chips. There is a saucer swing, a bank of traditional swings, small jungle gym with a slide, and a larger jungle gym with a couple of slides, some congos and monkey bars. The equipment seems relatively new and is in good shape. The area has a ramp to allow all kids the chance to play on the equipment.Just off of the play area is a open field that can be used to play catch, have a football game, or other outdoor activities. It is in a low lying area of the park, so it is prone to flooding and water retention.This is a good neighborhood park. I would not travel to far to come here, but it can provide hours of fun for the little ones, as well as those wishing to walk their four legged friend or just get their steps in.

The Carl and Anita Windisch Memorial Park is a very nice addition to the parks of Bargersville. It may be relatively new judging by the age of the trees planted along the winding path, but it seems well planned. There is drainage in the middle of the walking loop so that the area by the parking lot doesn't flood easily. The path is smooth blacktop to provide solid footing. There are benches along the path for those who want to rest while at the park. And I counted six picnic tables under the shade of the mature trees in the middle. Pretty nice place!The park has definite signs of Boy Scout involvement. One of the two pergolas on the path has a dedication plaque to former scouts. A carved eagle also sits on a pedestal with a plaque with an eagle scout symbol. I believe that I read the scouts help maintain the flower beds as well.The park is still very flat, so there may be some puddles on part of the path. However, I had no risk of getting wet feet since the path was wide enough to accommodate my walking.I think the park has great potential if it stays maintained. Lots of trees were planted and vines were set near the pergolas to offer shady tunnels once the spring growth occurs. I look forward to visiting again!Review #581

Well maintained park in a secluded area with lots of trees and shaded benches. A beautiful walking path surrounding the play area with a story walk. We love it here!
