  1. Go to the Library! Our Avon-Washington Township Public Library has more than just books! They’ve sent up many activities and events this summer that are open to the public.

  1. Go the Parks! There are lots of activities going on at our local parks! Beyond the activities, you can visit playgrounds, the splash pad, and the many trails and paths for hiking. Pack your family a picnic and visit the grounds available to Avon. Enjoying the outdoors is a great way to spend time with your family!

  1. Join the YMCA! We have a fantastic YMCA here in Avon, and they also plan and provide lots of activities to their members. They also have a great walking path around their property. Give of yourself by donating blood at the Y as well. The Indiana Blood Center Bloodmobile is parked at the Y Tuesdays from 10am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 7am to 3pm.

  1. Find out if you actually live within Avon’s town limits! You may be surprised to discover that you actually live outside the town’s borders, even though you live within the school district or have an Avon address. Due to the history of our fine town’s growth, the map of Avon’s borders is reminiscent of a slice of Swiss cheese.
