Weekend Ideas in Crown Point
Crown Point's historic downtown square is one of Northwest Indiana's best weekend anchors. Browse the shops around the old Lake County Courthouse, catch the Thursday car cruise in summer, or bring the family to Bulldog Park's splash pad. Lemon Lake County Park adds a big outdoor draw nearby.
Crown Point is served by the Crown Point Community School Corporation (PK through 12).
