Cool Creek Park & Nature Center

Cool Creek Park is one of Hamilton County's most popular parks, as it offers a wide variety of features and activities. Members of the entire family are sure to enjoy this beautiful 90-acre park year round. The park includes four miles of wooded trails, perfect for hiking, jogging and bird watching. Scenic paved roads wind through the park, ideal for cyclists and roller bladers. Looking for even more activities? Check out the playground, softball diamonds, soccer fields, or basketball court. For something slower paced, enjoy our nature trails, wetlands, prairies and benches along the trails, installed by Eagle Scouts.

This park is also home to the Cool Creek Nature Center, where families, school groups and nature lovers can explore the science of Indiana woodlands and learn about the importance of preserving plants and animals in their natural habitats. Together, the park and Nature Center provide a variety of programs throughout the year, including programs for children, bird watchers, animal lovers and volunteers. Visit our Calendar for upcoming items.

Cool Creek Park offers a number of events throughout the year, but is most famous for its Nature Programs and Cool Creek Concert Series, held annually in the summer at the Cool Creek Music Pavilion. Starting June 18th, the concert series promises a full line-up of music under the stars. Visit our Calendar to find out more about the series and additional Cool Creek Park events, including Movies in the Park, Jukebox Saturday and Haunted Trails.

Cool Creek Park also offers four shelters for rent, as well as the Auditorium located in the Nature Center. Visit our Facilities for Rent page for additional information on these facilities and how you can make reservations for your next occasion.
