Happy #GroundhogDay2024 ! It looks like spring is coming early, Phil said so. Some cool facts about groundhogs:
👉Can go by the name woodchuck or whistle pig.
👉Lore is: Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, gets spooked by it, runs back to hibernate, & thus 6 more weeks of winter.

Our Landscape Architecture Studio is honored to be named one of three finalists in this year's Indy Chamber Monumental Awards Landscape Architecture category. We’re thrilled to be recognized for our work assisting Carmel Clay Parks in re-imagining Meadowlark Park.

Last night we hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate reimagined West Park and to dedicate “Jim Engledow Commons” in honor of the late Jim Engledow who served on the Carmel/Clay Board of Parks and Recreation.

The heartfelt ceremony honored Jim’s life and legacy.

One of the main reasons our members love the MCC is because (say it with us) we’re not just a gym — we’re a community. 💚💙
