Reviews

  • Aaron Bryant (Aaron the Great)

This is a nice park off of Thompson and Arlington in Indianapolis Indiana. This is a medium size park with basketball courts, a very nice playground and a small off road bike course. There is plenty of sitting room to. Its located in a housing addition but anyone's welcome to go there as long as they are good people. If you need something to do with the kids I'm pretty sure the whole family will love this park. I wish they had a pool tho that's why it gets my rating.

  • Kristopher Cannon

This is a pretty good park. Has a decent play ground and it has plenty of swings for older and younger kids. Has a great basketball court. And my favorite part is the big field all around the park. You can play soccer, football , baseball even ultimate frisbee. The files is large enough you could have multiple things going at once. This park is outdated compared to others around it, but me and my kids always have fun when we go!

  • Lavell Chapel

Really going down. Bottles and empty cups laying in the grass. The backboard is broken on the north end of the court and the south end is completely ripped down. I hate when no home training bleeds into the community and makes everyone else suffer. I have to find somewhere else to go to train my grandsons.

  • Corinna Maggi

Clean and shady. We visited for a child's party. The pavilion was rented out for the day which was good because it was HOT, plus another party was there but had to raise under a nearby tree. Nice place to watch the dogs going by. People were playing basketball, so I would say it's an active park.

  • Alissa Reeves

We have been avoiding this place because everytime I bring my son there is trash everywhere. It's hard to enjoy ourselves when you have to watch where you are playing. Indy parks should offer a free program how to keep our parks clean for kids and teenagers. Also a recycling program!!

  • Vicki Carne

Shame that teens have trash cans to use but throw in the grass instead. Small park and hardly used. I'm sure rangers do what they can but some people don't care about others or the wildlife there
Dog-friendliness
See people walking their dogs there more than kids playing.

This is a nice little park .. cute little play area for the kids.... basketball courts..... and the trail that I like to walk around but I feel like it should be paved so you can walk on it after it rains otherwise it's muddy. More

  • scott gruber

Decent playground for kids ages 2 to 8 and there is a large covered picnic area with tables. Good place to cookout. Also has a full court basketball court and a large fishing pond a hundred yards away. Lots of parking space.

  • George Landis

Huge fields, perfect for gathering the lads to toss around the ol’ pigskin. If you’re supposed to be babysitting a kid, why stroll on over to the playground for hours of fun! Bring lunch to eat under the shelter as well!

  • David Daniel

Decent sized park, with plenty of field space. Only problem is the upkeep of the playgrounds left much to be desired. Mushrooms growing in corners, and other minor problems dropped the stars.

  • Dave Bauman

Nice park, featuring a pavilion with picnic tables, a playground, and a basketball court. There are plenty of surrounding fields as well. The playground is spacious and handicap accessible.

  • Lloyd Walker

A basketball court, walking trail, small playground, and a picnic shelter are about all there is to the place.... It will be much nicer in a few years when the little trees grow up.

  • Tonya Kelley

Well, I've never been here, but I bet the person that stole one of my phone's has been here. Looks nice but looks can be deceiving. Just like the person who stole my phone looked

  • Guy Simpson

Great smooth trail, playground and pavilion in the vast flat plane that is this park. Definitely a neighborhood park for the fun party crew residents I heard last night …

  • Steven Williams

Had a blast with my kids today! Enjoying outside time and off the tablets. We even picked up liter and talked about saving the planet. All in all I great start to our day!!

  • Lindsey Hartman

Nice, park overall. Lots of trash left around the basketball court. Playground is wheelchair accessible. The walking path and open areas are nice for playing ball.

  • Kristen Jackson

Super fun. The handicap swing was broken at the last visit. They have both baby and big kid/adult swings. Plenty of slides and things to do for a small park.

  • Cassie Griff

It's an ok park. A little older but not as run down as some of the other Southside parks. We need a big revamp of the parks on this side of town though.

  • Susan Hudson

Alot of camper trailers to chose from. And the people there are very nice. If they don't have what your looking for they will try to help you find it.

  • Jennifer Marie Barthel-Lewis

Kids had fun playing but no bathrooms avail and it’s a big park where they play sports too so maybe a bathroom is suitable to add or portables....

  • Lilac M.

Beautiful park to visit. More parking space and great area to kids to play with volleyball, basketball, water and they even have a swing.

  • Keri

Always dirty, trash everywhere, older kids always using foul language in front of younger kids. Would not recommend to anyone. More

  • Jordan Nelson

No signs of maintenance except the grass stays cut. 3 inch gap in the asphalt on the basketball court big enough to brake a ankle.

Good location. Very well conserved. Clean. Kids can have a great time there. Also there are area for food and basketball.

  • Catrina Shepherd

I took my granddaughter here because it was a new park for her and she loved it. It's quiet and beautiful scenery.
