PARKS

This page will be dedicated to parks in Indianapolis and Marion County.  If you have photos (old or new) that you would be willing to share and contribute to this page, please email them to me as jpgs.  Also include your name (to be shown as the contributor), the name of the park, and a description of the photograph.  If you also know of other websites that have material about these parks, please let me know of them so they can also be linked from here.  I'm looking for history, photographs and events that have happened at these various parks in the community.  Email history or links to me.

Parks are categorized in several ways:  state, regional, community, neighborhood, and natural resource areas.  The designation of the type is listed with each park name.

Also, since I do not live in the community any longer, I would love if someone would like to take photos of the park entrance and other outstanding scenes in the park to submit.  Let me know!  Thanks.
