Hummel Park (Plainfield, Indiana)

 park, softball field, football - soccer field, baseball field

Located along South Center Street in Plainfield, Hummel Park is connected to the Plainfield Parks system via paved walkways, but it remains a separate park run by Guilford Township.

At 75 acres, Hummel Park is one of the largest township parks in the state of Indiana, with features that most communities can only dream of having. A 1-1/8 mile paved track, multiple picnic shelters and gazebos, nature trails, sports fields and a Community Center are just a few of the amenities that draw people from surrounding counties to Hummel Park. Centrally located only 1.5 miles from the I-70/SR 267 interchange, it is the perfect spot for housing special occasions with families and friends.

Hummel Park was founded in 1984 on loan donated to the township by the state. The park was named after Jim Hummel, a former township trustee and one of the many people responsible for the drive to found a township park. Straddling the banks of White Lick Creek with a 300 foot wooden bridge, Hummel Park is both a place for activities and a place for relaxation. On the east side of the bridge are sporting venues and playground areas. On the west side of the bridge are nature trails and wooded areas with mature trees. Picnic shelters can be found on both sides.
