Golf

Wicker Park is home to an 18-hole golf course set on pristine lawns.

Picnics

Wicker Park has a variety of picnic areas available for rent. Each is equipped with a grill and picnic tables, allowing visitors to enjoy family meals in a beautiful natural setting. Among these picnic areas are three covered spaces, known as the Pavilion, the Breezeway, and the Shelter. These spaces hold a larger number of guests, ranging from 80 to 400, and thus are great options for casual rehearsal dinners or bridal luncheons.

Wedding Ceremonies

Outdoor wedding ceremonies are a dream at Wicker Memorial Park. Trailing from one of the banquet facilities is a walkway that leads toward a magnificent tree line. At the end of this walkway is a pearly white gazebo which acts as an altar for brides wishing to marry outdoors in Wicker Park. The snowy white color matches a bridal gown perfectly, and the beautiful evergreen trees behind it ensure that there is always a beautiful background for ceremony pictures at Wicker Park. The gazebo boasts enough space for a unity ceremony table, as well as for soloists or musicians.

Brides who prefer an off-site, indoor ceremony will be pleased to know that there are a number of churches near Wicker Park, any of which would make a great ceremony venue before heading to the park’s banquet facilities for a beautiful reception.

Wedding Receptions

The Social Center is just steps from the gazebo, making Wicker Park one of the most convenient wedding venues in Indiana. Wedding guests won’t have to worry about finding their way from the ceremony to the reception when brides choose to marry in the gazebo and host their reception right next door!

The Social Center is a lovely venue with space for up to 400 guests! Large windows allow the guests to admire the beauty of the park while they enjoy the wedding reception. Exposed brick, dark wooden beams, and a large dance floor make this a picture-perfect space for the reception of any bride’s dreams. The Social Center is so popular, in fact, that it was selected to house a bridal show in January of 2016, hosted by The Bride’s Guide magazine. The Wicker Park bridal show will be a great chance for potential brides to see the space and envision their weddings.

The Clubhouse is another lovely option in Wicker Park. This space is perfect for a more intimate wedding and can house up to 100 guests.
