Did you know there's a beautiful 43 acre park in northern Lawrence County Indiana?  It's located on the former Avoca State Fish Hatchery property, in the small burg of Avoca, and is now being ran by Marshall Township.  Although the fish hatchery is no longer in operation, the park still remains for the public to use.  It's a very tranquil place, with large shade trees, picnic tables, shelter houses, a playground, waterfall, and nice, flat walking trails.  Listen to my conversation with Sam Bond--one of the dedicated volunteers who are all working hard to provide an enjoyable space for the community.  If you'd like to rent one of the two shelter houses or any part of the property for a special event or fundraiser, or you just want to make a donation to help keep the park maintained, we'll give out a phone number towards the end of this podcast.  They can also always use more volunteers to help with various maintenance and upkeep around the park if you'd be willing to donate some of your time.  This park is such a fabulous asset to have and I encourage you all to get out and enjoy it.
