Carmel (Indiana). Not-for-profit tourism organization that promotes and encourages the development of Hamilton County tourism, conventions, festivals and other special events. Staff are very helpful and welcome visitors who need information. Visit their website for a full event calendar and interactive map of destinations, golfing, restaurants, shopping and places to stay.
The biggest hub for youth sports in the US—an over 400-acre complex that features more than 30 multipurpose fields, nearly 30 baseball and softball diamonds, an indoor event center with three full-size indoor fields, an indoor facility with multiple basketball/volleyball courts, and even office space and a full-service restaurant and bar. Future development plans call for a pro soccer stadium, a hockey arena, and various retail and restaurant spaces. Activities aren't limited to youth sports—the complex also hosts the Indianapolis Colts' preseason training camp, the Indiana Pacers' practice facility, and training facilities for the Indy Eleven men's and women's soccer teams (the women also play home games here).
