Fun place in Indy for kids to run around and play. There is a basketball court, playground, bathrooms, and drinking fountains. It is on the corner of busy roads which makes it a little noisy.

Definitely one of the better Indy Parks. Most notable features: * 🛝 Excellent park playground, popular with younger children *'🚻 Indoor restrooms * 🍵 Hot tea shop, very unusual for Indy Parks * 🏀 Multiple basketball courts (full and half) * 💦🚿⛲ Splash pad (summer) * 🏈⚽ Large open field (multi-sports) * 🎾 Tennis courts

This park is disgusting. It has the potential to be nice, but it is damaged, littered, filled with vagrants, and people smoking pot. Lots of the benches have parts missing, trash is strewn everywhere, weeds grow in the mulch, graffiti covers the bathroom doors, and it’s generally a sad looking spot. It has so much potential, but it’s ruined by the people who misuse it. It could be such a bright spot in the neighborhood, but I do not feel safe bringing my children here. There even appears to have been a fire on the playground which melted the rubber. See photos attached. Splash pad was also recently vandalized and wasn’t running for a few months this summer.

Great experience! Clean with great open climbing areas. If you have a climber they will LOVE IT very spacious and injury proof with that compression type turf. My little one had a great time.
