Need Some Water Fun?
Monon Community Center Indoor Pool
We love to swim, and particularly love pools that have specific features designed for children. The indoor pool at the Monon Community Center is perfect for children of a variety of ages all the way up to adulthood.
The zero-depth entry of the activity pool is a great feature for my two children. It allows my toddler to safely enter, explore, and exit the pool on his own, while acclimating my apprehensive 3 year old to the water. There are several spraying water features, fountains, and a bucket that will dump water. Our favorite, by far was the small kiddie slide! My youngest went down the slide no fewer than 500 times in the course of an hour!
The depth of the pool doesn’t get much deeper than 4 feet, and that depth is closest to the exit of the two large water slides. For older kids there are two impressive water slides! Check the hours, though, as they are not always open.
In addition to the activity pool, there’s also a lap pool, several party rooms, and a snack bar (open in the evenings during the week and most of the day on the weekends).
Activity Pool Hours: M-F 9am-8pm; Sat 12-8pm; Sun 9am-7pm
Indoor Waterslides: M-F 4:15-8pm; Sat 12-8pm; Sun 9am-7pm
Lap Pool: M-Th 5am-9pm; Fri 5am-8pm; Sat 7am-8pm; Sun 9am-7am

Lunch and Learn: Cultivating Mindfulness through Meditation
Come bring your Lunch and Learn with Us: 
- Wednesday, February 6, 2019
- Noon-1:00 PM
- HRC 154
- RSVP requested: healthyhorizons@butler.edu
What is Mindfulness and how do we connect with it?
“Through the practice of meditation we glimpse unconditional basic goodness as the ground of our existence. Opening ourselves with gentleness and appreciation, we begin to see our potential as genuine and compassionate human beings.”
Learning to meditate can help to calm the mind and encounter life circumstances with greater confidence, clarity and sense of humor. Please join us for a Lunch and Learn session on Mindfulness meditation. Instruction in walking and sitting meditation will be offered followed by practice, discussion and ways that we can identify and connect with Mindfulness in our daily lives.
Marguerite Stanciu began to train in Mindfulness meditation in 1981 and is an authorized teacher and meditation instructor in the Buddhist and Shambhala (secular) traditions. She is Assistant Director at the Butler University Center for Faith and Vocation.
We Wish You The Warmest Greetings!
We at Healthy Horizons wish you the warmest holiday greetings and wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!
Festival of the Trees and “A Christmas Story” Day!
From classic decor to the downright creative, 80 elaborately decorated trees will soon go on display at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center to delight people of all ages.
The exhibit features dozens of new themes, from holiday staples such as the Sugarplum Fairy and Santa’s sleigh to unique concepts such as popping champagne and the fictional Indiana town in Stranger Things. While the mood is festive, there’s a friendly competition for fan favorite, with past winners such as the Indianapolis Zoo and Plow Digital keeping this year’s idea top secret.
As visitors tour the winter wonderland, they also can take part in scavenger hunts for The Elf on the Shelf or the Weihnachtzgurke, 10 pickle ornaments hidden in trees throughout the building. When legs get weary, guests are invited to take a break in the Cole Porter Room, where a singer leads guests through holiday-themed songs, as well as popular Porter standards.
