Forest Park Aquatic Center

Today was my last day watching the girls for the summer - and we've been trying to do a "field trip" every other week. Since this is the end of summer technically for the kids (they start school Monday), we decided to take a trip up to the Forest Park Pool with Jill and her boys (poor Sophie and Delaney - they were outnumbered 9 to 2)!

Anyway, I've never been to Forest Park before - and now I wish I had found this place sooner. We all had a lot of fun, even Jill and I (oh yeah, we rode the big slide too during adult swim - but you WON'T see any pics of us doing it!!!). The kids had an awesome time, it was just a perfect day!!!

If you've never been here, I highly suggest it!!! Only $5 per person and the concessions were extremely reasonable too!


Evan found one of his good friends in the splash park, his aunt brought him unexpectedly, so they had a great time hitting each other with the splash guns.

This waterfall was really cool, Sophie and Delaney loved it - and we even spotted another familiar face - the woman in blue was Grant's preschool teacher at Northview 2 years ago!

At one point a lot of the kids dispersed, so Grant, Sophie and Delaney had the waterfall to themselves.

Blake loved the blue wheel to the left, it didn't put out a whole lot of water, but he ran as far from it as he could after he turned it - I don't think he ever did get wet from it!

I was pretty surprised Evan went off the diving board, he never would've attempted that last year!

Grant about to go down the turtle slide - and if you look to the left, the way the picture is angled makes it look like Blake is about to be eaten by the turtle's mouth!
Jill's son Brad is about to go down the big slide, and Evan was right behind him - happily waving to anyone who would watch them!

What trip isn't complete without at least one sacked out kid??? This one is particularly funny b/c Blake fell asleep in the car almost immediately pulling out of the parking lot with a blue raspberry ring pop in his mouth, this is what he looked like after the 15 minutes it took us to get home - blue raspberry residue all over his mouth, shirt and arms!!!

This place looks great - where is it? Also, do they have shelter or covered areas with shade? You sure do know where to go for fun!!!

Diane,
It's in Noblesville. Field Drive dead ends into it off SR 19
www.forestparkpool.org is the website.
They have lots of those really big umbrellas for shade - but we stayed in the sun the whole time!
