Milligan Park — Attraction in Crawfordsville

I've been to this park to many times to count. I could write a list of all the great things that I remember. But with the change in time, so has our park. In times past there was a huge wooden jungle gym. One of the merry go rounds that didn't have breaks and could send you flying! Horse shoe pits, I do believe some once said there was a stage. Currently there are plastic jungle gyms and a couple swings. Not nearly as fun as what we had. There are 4 shelters. Decent for family gatherings or just a place to get rest. There is a small creek called dry branch that runs through. After a good rain it floods pretty good. If you're into Frisbee golf, there is a pretty decent course running through the whole park.

One this day, we were supporting Suicide Awareness and Prevention with a 5K Walk and live Butterfly release. Throughout the year, Crawfordsville has various events in the park, and you can even use the shelters for parties, reunions,...

Attended July 4th celebration on a cool, cloudy day. The park is small but adequate. Nicely manicured grass abounds. Play area for kids was separated for less than 5 years of age and for older kids. I thought the two were too far apart for a family that might have both ages to watch. Picnic shleters are well built and roomy. According to my wife, the woman's bathroom on the north side of park is missing a stall door and the outside door doesn't lock, so that's a bit of a concern. Park is decent overall. Giving it...
