One of Hendricks County, Indiana's hidden gems is located on the east side of Avon Town Hall Park, just past the shelters, near the maintenance barn.

There you will find Trak 36 -- the only free and public track for radio-controlled vehicles in the county!

Operated by Avon Parks & Recreation, this outdoor RC track opened in 2016 and is available for public use from dawn to dusk daily.

The track will be closed if the conditions are too wet, but a quick check of the Town of Avon's website will indicate Trak 36's status.

You also don't have to worry about the sun beating down on you while you're there because there is a covered drivers' deck that provides shade while still allowing you to see the entire track. 

Users find the track both fun and challenging, and they also get to meet fellow RC enthusiasts such as the fine folks of the Hoosier RC Racers Club.

Avon Town Hall Park TRAK 36

While you're at the 83-acre Avon Town Hall Park, you can also check out the 2 miles of paved trails, two playgrounds, 9-hole disc golf course, ping pong tables, a bocce ball court, some cool outdoor public art, shelters with restrooms and more.

You can also do some catch-and-release fishing on any of the three ponds inside the park. So even if you're the only one in your family who enjoys racing RC vehicles, you can bring the entire family to Avon Town Hall Park, and everyone can find an enjoyable activity there while you master Trak 36!
