Carmel’s green spaces range from the Monon Greenway’s urban trailheads to the specialized landscapes of Coxhall Gardens. This collection includes the Kawachinagano Japanese Garden, a tribute to Carmel’s sister city, and Meadowlark Park’s extensive wetland boardwalks. Visitors can explore the Indiana Arboretum’s native tree collection, the symbolic earthen structures of the Medicine Wheel, and family-oriented spaces like the West Park splash pad and inclusive playgrounds.
