INDIANAPOLIS — Recently, City-County officials and Indy Parks are highlighted the start of construction at Doris Cowherd Park on the city’s northeast side. The $800,000 project is jointly funded by the Department of Metropolitan Development and Indy Parks as part of the city’s focus on placemaking and revitalizing neighborhoods.
Established in 1956, this 2.5 acre park at 4050 N. Irvington Ave., offers a playground, swing set, and a shelter. As part of a partnership with the Department of Metropolitan Development, the park is currently closed for construction. New amenities will include a playground, paved trail, and a flex lawn with space for soccer.
Other upcoming improvement projects on the northeast side include a new splash pad at Dubarry Park and a new playground at Virginia Lee O’Brien Park. Both projects are scheduled for completion in 2026. A new basketball pavilion at Wes Montgomery Park was completed in late 2024.
