McGraw Park is located right behind Central Catholic High School. It is a beautiful park with baseball diamonds, a soccer field, a lot of grassy, drinking fountains, picnic tables, restrooms, empty space to run and play, plenty of nice areas to sit, two play grounds, a little rock climbing wall, a fountain, and a spray park. They have frogs, elephants, and trees that spray water.The spray part of the park is open during mid-May through mid-September, depending on the weather. The water sprays from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. every day during those months. McGraw park is still a great place to be even if one is not partaking in the playground activities. The scenery is nice, there is usually an open breeze, and there is a beautiful trail that goes around the whole park, making for a very relaxing walk, jog, or bicycle ride.

McGraw Park is a thirty acre parked that was named after former Bloomington Mayor, Bob McGraw. McGraw Park opened in 2005. This park in particular is a popular park for outdoor concerts and weddings. It is a great, fun place for both younger and older children.
