INDIANAPOLIS —– Recently, city officials and Indy Parks celebrated the opening of the Riverside Adventure Park. The
$13 million project is funded by the Circle City Forward Initiative and the Lilly Endowment Grant to Indy Parks. The new portion of Riverside Park will include over four miles of newly paved trails, a pavilion and plaza with restrooms and parking, a nature-inspired playground, and a fitness loop with outdoor exercise equipment.
This completed project represents the first phase of development of the Riverside Adventure Park, 3702 N White River Pkwy Dr W. The second phase, which calls for an archery range, is scheduled to begin in 2026. Phase 3 includes plans to build a nature center.
Indy Parks will also begin construction on a new Taggart Memorial Playground next to the Taggart Amphitheater this summer. The $2 million project is funded by the Lilly Endowment Grant and is part of Indy Parks’ plan to modernize over 40% of the city’s playgrounds in the coming years.
Park grounds at the Adventure Park will be open year-round from Dawn until Dusk. The Adventure Park covers over 180 acres out of Riverside Regional Park’s 862 acres total acres.
