Washington Township Park is excited to announce that Phase 1 of Murphy Aquatic Park (MAP) will be opening May 28, 2022. 

In 2019 the Township board purchased over 35 acres East of CR 625 E and 6 acres West of CR 625 E.  The property is currently being developed into Murphy Aquatic Park. Washington Township Park has been working alongside HWC Engineering and Veridus Group on this exciting and innovative project. One large focus of the project is inclusivity. This will help to ensure that individuals in the community of all needs and abilities can explore the amenities MAP will have to offer. The park features an all-inclusive playground, trails, a connection to AJAA, an aquatics facility, large recreational hill, recreation pond, and native plantings.

The largest amenity at Murphy Aquatic Park is the Aquatics Facility. The aquatics facility will have a wave pool, open recreational swimming, water slides, a toddler zone, cabana rentals, admissions/concessions buildings, a bathhouse and a large central play feature. The large central play feature will be the first ever ADA accessible water playground. This playground features 48 water spray features and an iconic super-splasher.

The Aquatics Facility will be open Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day weekend. Residents of Avon/Washington Township will receive a discounted rate for admission and membership. Rates will be comparable to those in the surrounding area. When rates have been approved by the Township Board, we will post them here. The pool deck has been designed so that in the winter months this facility will be used for our ice rink that is currently operated in the top of Washington Township Park.
