    Where: River Heritage Park

    Address: 11813 River Rd, Carmel, IN 46033

  • In 2001, River Heritage Park’s accessible playground was dedicated as “Everybody’s Playground.” When the park was reimagined in 2022, the focus on inclusion remained a top priority. The park’s updates focus on accessible play and providing access to the community’s most significant natural resource: the White River. Park highlights include inclusive play features (both in the main playground and along the trail), a wheelchair-accessible nature trail, and two White River overlooks.
