Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) invites the public to participate in an online survey to determine the community’s vision for Thomas Marcuccilli Nature Park located near 146th Street and River Road. The survey is open now and will remain open through Sunday, Sept. 11.

CCPR and consultants from landscape architecture firm MKSK hosted the second round of public meetings in August 2022. The online survey is the next phase of CCPR’s efforts to gather public input for the development of the Thomas Marcuccilli Nature Park Master Plan.
Thomas Marcuccilli Nature Park was donated in 2021. The 63-acre park is in a unique, natural setting in northeast Carmel. Additional public workshops and online options will be offered throughout the master plan process.
