Monon Community Center and The Waterpark
Community center and waterpark
About
The Monon Community Center is run by Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation in Central Park. It has an east building and a west building, plus an outdoor skatepark that is open to the public without a membership. Indoors you'll find a lap pool, an activity pool, group fitness classes and childcare. Monon Station, an indoor playground, is here too, and children 15 and under need a parent or guardian with them. Entry takes a membership or a day pass, and day passes are open to people who don't live in Carmel.
The Waterpark is the center's summer side. It has a lazy river, an AquaClimb wall, a FlowRider surf simulator, a kiddie pool, adventure slides and a concessions stand. Cabanas can be rented.
When to go
The Waterpark is closed for the 2026 season and plans to return in 2027. Its 2027 dates were not posted in November 2026. In 2026 it ran from May 23 through Labor Day, with shorter weekend-only hours after August 9.
The indoor center is open all year, Monday to Friday from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. and weekends from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The activity pool runs weekdays 5 to 8 p.m., Saturday noon to 7 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and it closes during Waterpark season. Monon Station's family hours are Monday to Friday 1:30 to 8 p.m., Saturday 1 to 6 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The center is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and it closes at 1 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. On New Year's Day it opens at 1 p.m.
Good to know
The Waterpark's address is 1195 Central Park Drive West. You can bring your own Coast Guard approved life jacket. Children 10 and under must be with an adult. You must be at least 48 inches tall for the FlowRider and the waterslides, except toddler slides. You can bring your own food and drinks, but no glass, alcohol or heating elements, and food and coolers stay in the grass area.

The Waterpark page still showed these season pass and cabana prices in November 2026, after the 2026 season closed. 2027 prices were not posted. Carmel residents with ID get $3 off Waterpark season passes and $1 a month off memberships. Center day passes and household memberships are sold in person. Waterpark day passes are sold that day at The Waterpark, and sales can stop if the park is full. A cabana rental does not include admission.
Prices checked November 2026 on the website of Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation. They can change, so check before you go.
