I didn't get to spend as much time as I would've wanted to, so will be back another day!I was a little annoyed though that the stairs at trail 2 were closed and the closure was not mentioned on the website.

I bet it is absolutely gorgeous in the summer too.We have a State Park pass and are trying to check off/visit all Indiana State Parks.Restrooms: Vault toilets were available.

In particular the barns were super cute for some artsy shots with friends and to walk around and enjoy the pretty flowers.The hiking trails are very pleasant and even get a little hilly as you approach Bertrand Park.

Seitz Park: what do users think?
Marshall Robinson: Surrounding establishment’s parking lots will leave it only accessible by the hike and bike trail.AM General has it’s own two parking lots: one on the north; and the other on the south sides of it’s building.There was access to Seitz Park from Colfax Street on a drive all side the shirt factory apartments .The new apartments being built next door turn the drive and the parking lot private.The only access to parking is a lot accessible from Hill Street between AM General’s south parking lot and one on the north side of the Emporium, which is all to often closed for Emporium events.It is honorable park with a vibrant view of the downtown’s skyline.Right now, the park is under construction due Notre Dame’s hydroelectric damn - darn near two years.It will be tourist attraction that will rival any spectacle in town.It is on a peninsula in the Saint Joe river in the Heart of South Bend.
