Valpo Moms

In 2021, the lot just south of the Porter County Library in Valparaiso got a complete overhaul. Previously this space was an old bank that had gone out of business. This vacant property sat for several years before it was completely renovated. The final outcome is beautiful and enjoyable for all ages.

We typically visit the Library Rotary Garden on a beautiful day after we have done the weekly scavenger hunt in the children's department at the library (that post for another day). There is a small Story Walk, a shaded area of benches, a small amphitheater, reading chairs, xylophone, and misted walk (absolute favorite for my kiddos).

This is a beautiful spot to check out on your way from the library to a nice walk downtown.

Kirchoff Park is located off of Roosevelt Road and Institute Street (400 N. Roosevelt Road, Valparaiso).

There are five shelters, a baseball diamond, a basketball court, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, pickle-ball court and a playground with swings.

Today, we met up with our homeschooling co-op group for a play-date and coincidentally, the Mom's Club of Valpo was meeting up at the exact same place and time! There were so many kids that were enjoying the playground that my girls had such a fabulous time.

There are bathrooms that are a part of one of the shelters, but I am uncertain if those are unlocked regularly or only if someone is reserving one of the shelters.
