INDIANAPOLIS — Beginning June 1, Indy Parks staff members started the process to return to their family centers and facilities. In the first phase of the re-opening, park buildings will remain closed to the public as staff offer telephone assistance and make appointments for services requiring in-person assistance. Day camp registration began on June 1, giving parents and guardians an opportunity to register for 13 day camps. Registration was halted in April as Indy Parks evaluated ways to safely manage children in smaller groups and with new guidelines in place. Staff will answer e-mails and phones from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Staff will only handle in-person transactions by appointment. Park buildings will be closed to the public until June 15. There will be no weekend services, activities, or programs during this time. Indy Parks will continue its free meals program (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) at designated parks around the city.
Registration will reopen for remaining spots with camps starting on June 15. To register call (317) 327-PARK, visit indyparks.org, or contact your preferred day camp directly. Day camps begin on June 15 with new guidelines and safety procedures.
Indy Parks will unveil its summer pool schedule along with plans to reopen additional amenities June 8. With the current safety procedures, the parks department anticipates that not every one of its 20 pools will open.
