Our Play Complex
Normain Park in Mishawaka, Indiana, reflects inclusion through purposeful design and innovative features. From Pfeil Miracle Field to Lilli’s Playground and our one-of-a-kind amenities, every detail was carefully created to ensure people of all ages and abilities can play, connect, and explore.
Setting the Standard for Inclusive Play
Our unique complex is part of a growing national network called National Demonstration Site (NDS)—a program that helps communities design research-based play and fitness environments. It also collects and evaluates data from these environments to highlight measurable and positive outcomes.
Normain Park serves more than 69,000 people within a three-mile radius. Our complex is designed to deliver meaningful community benefits and we are proud to be the second site in Indiana to receive the Inclusive Play (Me2 Principles) and Outdoor Adult Fitness designations.
