Avoca Park and Recreation of Marshall Township, is a recreation area in Lawrence County, Indiana that includes walking, hiking trails and picnic areas. Open year-round, dawn until dusk. The park consists of approximately 43 acres (17 ha) of land including forests, 13 ponds, three buildings and a cemetery dating back to the Civil War. The property has 13 earthen ponds fed by a natural spring. Grass levees circle each of the ponds providing a winding path around all the ponds. Wooded hiking paths allow access to the Civil War Cemetery and a WPA stone overlooks. A gravel path along a Works Progress Administration (WPA) built stone wall leads to the shelter house that overlooks the ponds. A two-story colonial-style house built in 1823 sits near the spring. Stone structures, walls and a stone overlook, built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), give hikers a view of the old hatchery grounds.
