Read more about this location
Horse Fork Creek Park is home to Daviess County’s first fully accessible playground, created so children of all abilities can play together. Official county sources confirm a poured-in-place rubber surface, accessible ramps, a glider swing, musical instruments, nearby fully accessible spray park, and added restroom facilities in the same area. Because the playground sits inside a larger county park next to the Greenbelt trail and major soccer complex, it works well for both quick play stops and longer family outings.
