A very fun playground and park for the kiddos. There is a sandbox that runs through a creek through the center of the playground. It can get a little messy with kids playing in the sand, but they have a blast, and theres nothing quite like it at other parks. The sand is one of the main attractions, but there are still slides, and things to climb on and swings. There are walking trails that go by a lake. The park is clean and well kept. It is really a well maintained park that is fun for the whole family to enjoy the outdoors. I would highly recommend visiting.

Awesome little playground. My kids love playing at the sand area. Good size of shelters are there to sit and enjoy.

This is an adorable little park. The sand is a great concept. There are sand wasps though that I wish they treated for. Although they dont tend to sting, theyre scary for the kids. Theres great hade here as well. While you probably cant spend more than a couple hours here, its too cute to pass up. Remember to bring your own sand toys!

This park is a little different as far as how kids equipment is set up, but it is unique and interesting. Kids seem to love it.

I have so many great memories from this park!! Great shaded seating. Lots of climbing equipment for the 6-11-year-old kids. Safer and smaller equipment for very young kids.

We really like Founders park. My girls enjoy the littler playground, the trails in the woods and the sand. There is nice, covered pavilion with tables, restrooms and a drinking fountain. That said, if you have a child that elopes, this playground is a nightmare. There are several exits and only a low wall between the play structure and the parking lot.

We loved digging in the sand! Great playground and my one year old loved the climbing spiderweb.

One of our favorite local parks! The sand pit and boulders to climb are fun unique features.

We always have fun here! Its a great place to be outside in nature close to civilization. Frogs were singing today and this teeny tiny butterfly kept fluttering around us.

Pretty nice park. It has a large playground suitable for mixed ages. There are sand pits, soccer fields, and a large covered pavilion with restrooms, water fountains, and rocking chairs. There appeared to be some trails, but I did not go on them.

Relaxing place to walk without leaving the city.

Unique Southwest Themed Park. My son had fun.

Good place for small children. Big kids not so much.

Great park, huge playground and plenty of covered tables. Old gravel pit, now fishing hole with paved access. Modern and safe.

This place is family owned very likable people

It looks like just the kind of place kids would love.

Beautiful pond and great play area for the kids! They loved the sand area as well.

Cute park. Great place for kids!

Great place, and very nice equipment for the kids :)

It was a good time, as it always is at this park. Youll find rope structures youre able to and allowed to climb on as well as rock structures, same goes for those. There are swings, slides, and jungle gyms, if you will. There are also trails through the trees for the parents/older crowd. Really a place for all ages, I cant, as of right now, think of any negatives with this park.

It was nice.. When no one was there. A little crowded this Memorial day for my likings though.

Small but pretty inventive playground for the kids.

Park is fairly small for trails, there is a large playground for kids and some soccer fields. If you are looking for birds, you will find them mostly in the North East corner of the park.

Clean restroom, beautiful trails

Great for walking through nature, playing soccer, having a picnic and taking kids to the playground. Restrooms are nice too.

Great day at Founders Park on Christmas eve afternoon. Lots of fun rocks to climb and slides for our grandson. He really enjoys this park as it is geared to the smaller child. Merry Christmas!

Nice little park.

Great place to view Carmel fireworks display!

Ive always loved this park. My kids do as well . I love the sand pits, the rock climbing walls. I cant wait to go again. Oh and it has a walking trails. Just a very cool park.

This is a great facility provided by Carmel. Allows for a quick getaway walk around a little lake or a quick pick up soccer game

Its a small park but nice. It has climbing activity for toddlers, sand area, shelter and soccer goal posts. Nice I liked it.

Fun and family friendly atmosphere.arge play area with several different activities to keep kids entertained for hours! Theyre is also a free library and rocking chairs to enjoy a book while getting some sunshine. We live out of state but visit Carmel often and the kids ask to go here every time

Love this park! Small enough to keep track of your child, but still has enough things to do, plus a covered pavilion I can watch from!

Kids love this park great for pokemon hunters also

Nice playground, good fields, lovely walking path.

This is a fun park for my boys ages 4-12. They playground is made of rocks.

Very nice park that is still evolving. Great playground for toddlers. Couple of soccer / lacrosse fields. Nice covered pavilions and clean restrooms. The pond is nice and attracts a good variety of birds. The city also does a great job with the wildflower plantings throughout the park. The wild flowers attract an even greater variety of birds as well as lots of butterflies and other insects. The paved walking trail around the perimeter is very nice as well.

Something for everyone. Sand play area, climbing rocks, swings, play set and tunnels for the littles, a shelter with picnic tables, a walking path through native plants and sport fields. There is also a building which I havent been in.

Walking trail and kids park

Its a nice park but my kids freaked out about the sand wasps the entire time. They arent aggressive like normal wasps but my kids couldnt get past it.

My wife and I love going here. Peaceful and nice walking paths.

Love the sand creek, umbrellas for shade, really great for little kids

A great park! There is a large amount of climbing equipment at this playground. There is also a sand river going through the middle of the playground. I appreciate the several shady spots scattered around the perimeter. There is also a covered area with picnic tables and restrooms. There are even a few big rocking chairs to sit in! The turn off can be a bit hard to spot from Hazel Dell, in my opinion. But other than that, I love bringing my kids to this park.

My granddaughter loves the sand elements. Shes excited to go to this particular park.

Great park to take the kids to. They love the huge rope structure to climb on.

Cute little park. Perfect size to let my toddler explore and play without too many big kids bulldozing him. No splash pad, which is a plus in my book. Does have a nice sandbox feature and covered picnic tables.Easy to spot from the road and has nice green spaces behind and besides the playground.

Issa good park, man. Theres trees and stuff.

Great park it has everything even a few soccer fields

Not a very big park, but my kids always have a lot of fun there.

I do love it, good park , great for gathering

Nice playground and nature walking trails

The kids LOVE this place! I really like how the park is closed in so it makes keeping an eye on your little ones easier. The park has a shaded table area which is nice for anyone to pack a lunch and allow the kids to run around as long as they wish. Just so you know, this place is surrounded with sand (it doesnt bother us but I know some people dont like it) If you havent been to this park is it a must see! Youre children will want to go back again and again

Sand is always clean, no animal waste.

Nice place to spend time with family and kids

Not much here. But cute park tucked away

A wonderful playground for families a small children.

Very clean, cool looking playground, trails, and lots of shaded picnic tables. Overall great spot for kids to play. Restrooms too! Not as awesome as the new Monon park, but in a good location.

Nice place for kids to play and have fun

This is probably our favorite park. The play ground is built to challenge all ages. Rock formations entice bigger kids to climb, while caves provide fun for the little ones. Trenches of sand offer fun for all, as do the swings. Open fields are available for team sports. A covered area with tables and rest rooms offers space for family gatherings.

Rivers of sand! The sand was clean and we had a great time playing in it. Love that there was plenty of shade and a cleanup station. Leave boutique clothes at home, your kids will get messy at this park.

Great for small children ages 1-7. Only 2 toddler swings though. Very big sand box so bring your buckets, shovels, and sandles. They have a fountain to wash the sand off your feet and lots of shaded park tables.

A nice local park with lots of green space. There are a couple of large grass fields, a small playground, covered picnic table area, and restrooms. Parking near the.playground can sometimes be an issue and the playground selection is limited but very modern in design.

What a great park and perfect location

Beautiful with two soccer fields, nice playground and trails. Cant wait to come back!

Nice large park. Two large soccer fields. A large playground with tons of equipment. A covered picnic shelter. Pond with a few trails around it. A long paved trail around the soccer fields good for jogging. A really nice spot for an evening stroll or taking the kids for an afternoon excursion.

Great park in a nice neighborhood.

Beautiful

Great place for family fun

One of my favorite spots!

Nice facility for soccer. The. Pitches ate well kept . If you are looking to play pick up games, stop by on Thursday at 6:00pm and Saturday at 10:30am

My grandson liked the amenities of this park. It seems to look and offer kid fun things to do.

Nice bathrooms.

Nice park with slides and climbing walls. Lots of climbing and digging fun.

A very nice park. They offer soccer fields, long bike paths, and more. One of the nicest parks I have been.

Picturesque public park

Very nice and clean

Easy to access, not giant trails or too much tall foliage. 1 pokestop, 1 gym.

The woods along the trails here are loaded with parasitic bamboo, and that bamboo is LOADED with tick nests. I took my dogs here and they were covered in ticks by the time we left. DO NOT TAKE DOGS HERE. Ive spent the past few hours manually de-ticking my dogs and will have to take them to the vet in the morning.

Great sand area and rocks for climbing. A little different than your average park.

This park is centrally-located in the city of Carmel. The focal point is a large childrens play area adjoining a shelter with seating for perhaps 80 (but certainly large enough for many more). Restrooms are located in the shelter. The playground has a climbing rock, a larhe sand pit, four child swings and two toddler swings, and a large playset. There are three shade canopies in an otherwise very open play area.

Great playground, clean bathrooms and water fountains in the picnic area.

Smaller park but my son loves the sand area and climbing on the equipment.

Not much of trail but yes for football and mini cycling circuit

Lots of room for activities and classes. Its a beautiful park!

Fun different park... It has swings, sides, rocks to climb on and plenty of sand to play in

Clean and safe

Kids love this place. Pet friendly too

Awesome newer (as of 2012) style playground equipment. Lots of safer climbing equipment for kids, especially ages 4-8.

Great modern twist on an old school park. Great fake rocks to climb and room to explore.

Great park along the bike path. A unique archeological them playground and plenty of hiking and biking trails.

Clean park with public restrooms, walking paths, and an awesome playground for young children.

One of the best parks in Carmel. Watch out for ticks though when you go down by the water. They are BAD this year.

My children enjoy playing here and we like to fly kites in the open area next to the play area.

A great place to walk your dog or for your kids to play soccer

Fabulous and expansive sand pit and rock climbing for kids.

I play soccer here with friends primarily. You kind of have to be careful not to trip over a sprinkler head on the pitch.

Great park, especially for toddlers and kids who love to climb.

Great place for kids!!!

Great park to go walking and take kids to, a really nice play ground

Nice and clean, my 2 year old loves this park.
