About the Venue

Happy Hollow Park is one of the more practical inclusive outdoor picks in West Lafayette because the city explicitly identifies two accessible playgrounds, separated by age range, inside a larger 81-acre park. That makes it especially helpful for families visiting with both younger and older children who need different challenge levels. The park also adds restrooms, picnic shelters, trails, open turf, and drinking fountains, so it works well for a longer family park visit instead of just a quick stop.
