Potawatomi Park
Park
👍 South Bends' best park beside the new Howard Park, which ranks no.2 due to its eradication of all the trees. Potawatomi, named after the Native American people that once lived there, is full of tall old-growth trees, so shade is easy to find, even for parking spots.
Four main features make this par...

River Lights Plaza
Park
👍 If you're looking for a short activity to do in South Bend at night, I recommend this. The light displays are pretty, and the changing colors are oddly calming. The 5 structures each have interesting backstories you can read on the signs, and the whole walk is only a few tenths of a mile. Conveni...

Rum Village Mountain Bike Trail
Park
👍👍 I was stunned by how good it was, very challenging, very beautiful. Rather difficult and rigorous. The signs do not seem too helpful, they are random and misleading, but let's chalk that up to the spirit of adventure. Interacted briefly with super friendly and helpful staff. Thrilled to discover it

Wheelock Park
Park
👍👍 When I lived there, from 1969 to 1973, this was the Izaak Walton League property. My dad was the caretaker there and my backyard was 122 acres of so much goodness for a kid. I was never indoors. Always exploring the woods, ponds, Judy Creek and the St Joe river with my dog Simon. I just ran across t...
