Surrounding the aquatic center are picnic areas, charming wooded trails, and play spaces that cater to families and groups. For more active visitors, amenities include tennis courts, basketball courts, and a BMX track. Additionally, the USI-Burdette Trail, a three-mile paved path, connects the park to the University of Southern Indiana and offers opportunities for jogging, biking, and hiking while highlighting the area's natural beauty.
