Churubusco Park

This is a nice small town park with old school equipment in a nice setting. Some trails and several ball diamonds. Could use more groundkeeping but it’s good enough. Nice splash pad too.

There have been some improvments made in the last year, but need more upkeep. the trails are ok and the splash park is nice for small kids.

Churubusco, IN also known as ‘Turtle Town USA’ offers a charming park for the seemingly small community.
This 3 star park offers a diverse playground, a splash park, shelter, a little league field, a skateboard park, and other things to be explored.
For a small town this truly is a nice park that warrants 4 stars however, what prevents me from giving this turtle town park another shiny star is that there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of upkeep besides lawn mowing. Many of the playground equipment is well-​loved having almost no paint left on them. There are lakes beneath the swings and a mote around the merry-​go-​round. Also I imagine there were wood chips at one time around the playground equipment but what’s left now is mostly dirt, mud, and puddles if it’s rained in the past 5 days. So do dress for the occasion and make sure your kids have an extra outfit in the car.
What’s great about this park is that much of the playground equipment that’s torn from many parks is still here. It’s seldom these days to see the spider-​web bars and teeter-​totters still in tact. Many adults deem these as too dangerous and old-​fashioned but kids and kids at heart no that just isn’t so and so city’s across the nation have torn them out and replaced them with mediocre plastic playgrounds (which this park does have by the way). Please see my pics to see the playground equipment.
Besides playground equipment there’s a walking trail that goes through the park into the woods, there’s horseshoes, and plenty of shade for those nice summer days when you want to have a picnic.
I wouldn’t go out of way to go here, but if you’re in a neighboring town or live in ‘turtle-​town USA” I’m sure this park can fulfill a pleasant day for the kids and a relaxing treat for yourself.
