Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation. In accordance with Governor Holcomb’s Executive Order 20-28, signed on May 21, and CCPR’s resumption of operations plan, several CCPR amenities and services are opening this weekend.
“We are overjoyed to begin reopening. Our team has worked incredibly hard to prepare the Monon Community Center and amenities for the community,” said Michael Klitzing, Director for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation. “We hope everyone enjoys spending time outdoors over Memorial Day Weekend. Of course, we continue to encourage all our visitors to practice physical distancing and follow CDC guidelines.”
All sections of the Monon Greenway are now open.
- If the Monon Greenway is busy, please avoid the area. As an alternative consider visiting trails in city parks.
- Always maintain physical distancing.
- Hand sanitizer stations have been placed along Monon Boulevard and around Midtown Plaza, thanks to a generous sponsorship from Allied Solutions.
- Trailhead restrooms at 96th Street and Rohrer Road are open.
Parks and open spaces are partially open, with some amenities remaining closed.
- Playgrounds and splash pads will remain closed until further notice, per Indiana Executive Oder 20-28. The State has provided no guidance as to when playgrounds will be able to reopen.
- Central Park skatepark is open.
- Central Dog Park is partially open. The grass section for large dogs remains closed due to wet conditions from all of the recent rain. The mulched zone for large dogs and the small dog sections are open.
Restrooms are open in the following locations:
- Central Park: Dog park and east woods latrine. (Westermeier Commons restrooms remain closed.)
- Hazel Landing Park: Portable toilet and hand washing station.
- Meadowlark Park: Portable toilet and hand washing station.
- West Park: Main restrooms are open. (Jill Perelman Pavilion restrooms remain closed.)
- Restrooms that are primarily used to support playgrounds and splash pads remain closed in an effort to help discourage use of these amenities. These include Westermeier Commons, Inlow Park, Founders Park, River Heritage Park, and Perelman Pavilion.
The Monon Community Center will open on Sunday, May 24 for current members by reservation only.
- Reservations are available up to one week in advance.
