BRYAN PARK POOL

Talk about kid appeal – with three water slides

and a shallow splash area for the tots, Bryan

Park Pool is hard to beat. Luckily there’s a

snack bar on site, because a hungry tummy

might just be the only thing to tear your kids

away from the fun. 1001 S. Henderson St.

MILLS POOL

On a smaller scale than Bryan Park Pool, Mills

Pool is also a great choice for families. There’s

something for every age – a water slide for

big kids, a zero-depth area for little ones, plus

umbrellas and deck chairs for lounging parents.

1100 W. 14th St.

KARST FARM PARK

If you’re looking to cool off but don’t need the

full pool experience, head out to the Splash

Pad, located behind the soccer fields at Karst

Farm Park. The fountains and sprinklers are a

welcome respite from a long day of activities.

There’s also a great playground next to the

water area. Best of all: it’s all free!

2450 S. Endwright Rd.

COUNSILMAN BILLINGSLEY

AQUATIC CENTER

While some of us may wish for 365 days of

summer, four distinct seasons in Bloomington

means the outdoor pools have to close when

the cool weather arrives. So if you’re itching

to jump in the pool and the weather isn’t

cooperating, try the state-of-the-art pool at

IU’s Student Recreational Sports Center. Call

or check for family swim hours on weekends.

1601 Law Ln.

IU OUTDOOR POOL

Looking to get your laps in? The IU Outdoor

Pool has 10 lanes dedicated to staying

between the lines. There’s a shallow pool for

kids, spring diving boards, and a multi-story

diving platform that might just inspire a few

dares. Are you brave enough to jump off the

10-meter platform? 1833 N. Fee Ln.

PAYNETOWN STATE

RECREATION AREA

(MONROE LAKE)

Monroe Lake is the largest in Indiana, snaking

its way through the southeast corner of the

county. Surrounded by thousands of acres

of gorgeous forest, the lake is home to three

beaches. First up is Paynetown Beach, situated

in the middle of a sunny peninsula and full of

rustic charm. There are also lots of rentable

boats to get you out onto the water, from

kayaks to jet skis to double decker pontoon

boats. If you want to participate in some land-

based happenings, the activity center hosts

programming throughout the year.

4850 S. State Road 446

BY AUBREY DUNNUCK

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, we’re getting our feet (and knees, and stomachs, and

shoulders) wet in Bloomington. Splashing around in the water is a summer tradition, and

there are plenty of places to do just that. Stay close to town with a swim in one of several

beautiful pools, or connect with nature at Monroe Lake and Lake Lemon. Whether

you’re the type to cannonball straight into the deep end or wade in gradually, we’ve got a

swimming spot for you.

THE OWLERY This meat-free restaurant on the Square stands out as much for its collection of owl kitsch as for its all-vegetarian comfort food. You must try the Canadian classic, Poutine. Crispy fries smothered in hot gravy and melted cheese curds (vegan or dairy), need we say more? theowleryrestaurant.com

FALAFELS The namesake Falafel is excellent – fresh and plenty crisp. Order it in a sandwich with some of the best fries in Bloomington or as an entrée with roasted asparagus and mashed potatoes. On the healthier side, the Tel Aviv Salad is a rainbow of cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and feta. Use the halo of pita chips to scoop up a little bit of everything.

falafelsonline.com

ANYETSANG’S LITTLE TIBET Follow the colorful Tibetan Prayer flags to find this Fourth Street gem. Share some Tibetan dumplings, or momos, with half Tsel, stuffed with cabbage and carrots and half Shogo, filled with mashed potatoes and onions. Lunch specials are a great deal – they include a small salad with an addictive ginger dressing, followed by the ultra-creamy coconut red curry. anyetsangs.com

KING DOUGH A new – and very welcome – addition to the downtown square, King Dough brings Napoli-style pizza to Bloomington. You can’t go wrong with a classic Margherita pie, topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil, and basil. The crust stands on its own, beautifully charred and chewy, making it easy to skip the cheese and go with a vegan pie. facebook.com/kingdoughpizza

(Ten of Bloomington’s favorite vegetarian and vegan restaurants)

BY AUBREY DUNNUCK

If you’re a vegetarian visiting Bloomington, consider yourself lucky. From the plethora of earth-conscious restaurants surrounding the downtown square to the abundance of unique international restaurants on Fourth Street, a delicious, meat-free meal is easy to find and devour. And we’re not just vegetarian friendly; if you’re vegan or gluten-free, you’ll find more delectable options than you’d expect even from a progressive place like Bloomington. These locally owned and operated restaurants are just a few of our favorites.

One of the best things about Bloomington is the diversity of people who come here, and the reasons why. It might surprise visitors to know that two of the largest Buddhist centers in the Midwest are right here in Bloomington. Tucked away in heavy woods that act as a buffer from the outside world, the spiritual centers are places where people can marvel or meditate, or both. These centers are part of the fabric that makes this community so colorful, and offer visitors a unique and unexpected experience.

You don’t have to be a practicing Buddhist to explore these quiet and sacred monasteries. Their brightly colored temples, altars with gilded Buddha statues, and peaceful grounds are open to the public. Both centers welcome visitors of all faiths who are looking for a cultural experience or simply a few tranquil moments.

The longstanding Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center is on the southeast side of Bloomington, and the newer Gaden KhachoeShing monastery is on Bloomington’s north side. Both monasteries have four resident monks who chant and pray daily in the temples.

Both centers were established to preserve Buddhism in Western culture and both are rooted in the Yellow Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism, but their practices veer from there — the two are not affiliated. Here’s what to expect when visiting these Bloomington landmarks.

At the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center, a winding drive seems to offer something new at every turn: monuments, the temple, a prayer-wheel pavilion, a pond with lotus flowers, and cottages for rent. Set back on a heavily wooded 108 acres — just 10 acres of which are developed — the center hosts individual visitors looking for meditation as well as large events, including a handful

of visits from the Dalai Lama (he even has a private apartment at the Center for those visits).The Center was founded in the 1970s by the

late Thubten Jigme Norbu, the eldest brother of the 14th Dalai Lama and a professor of Tibetan Studies at Indiana University. Today, the Center’s director is Arjia Rinpoche, who fled Tibet and wrote a memoir about it called “Surviving the Dragon.” Rinpoche was recognized as a reincarnate lama when he was two years old and he was tapped by the Dalai Lama to become the director in 2005.
