East 23rd Street

If you’re local and haven’t taken your kids to the splash pad on East 23rd Street yet, you’re missing out on one of Muncie’s better warm-weather spots. It sits right next to Cooley Park, so there’s plenty of room to roam once the kids are done getting soaked. The water feature is the main draw — straightforward, fun, and exactly what you want on a July afternoon in Indiana. Families from the surrounding neighborhoods have made this a regular stop, and honestly, it shows.
