INDIANAPOLIS – On Thursday, August 15, Mayor Joe Hogsett and Indy Parks broke ground on a $3.5 million project at
Washington Park. As part of the $80 million Lilly Endowment Grant announced at Washington Park in 2023, the project will replace the central playground, add a new splash pad, shelter, parking lot, comfort station, and event lawn.
This project is one of several new park amenities across the city’s near northside and Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood including Rev. Charles R. Williams Park, the new Frederick Douglass Park Family Center and playground, and the newly renovated basketball courts at Fall Creek & 30th Park thanks to a partnership with Pacers Sports and Entertainment and Tyrese Haliburton.
