Riverside Park — Attraction in Indianapolis

Stop reading reviews and get yourself to this park now!!!

I love this park. I've been cycling through it every year since 2008 or earlier. When I had kids we took them there on purpose, no matter the season, since birth to now 8 and 7. I used to work and go to Grad school downtown and if my spouse could meet up (with the kids) between end of work and night classes THIS was our go to spot. My daughter's Spring birthday parties were held at reservable (affordable) pavilions from her first through her 5th.

It is even better now with an amphitheater that is managed by the same booker as The Vogue AND major trail improvements are approved and will be starting any time now. Did I mention they have the second most affordable summer camps in the city AND a nice water park (with slides) high ball playing areas and the different playgrounds ( maybe 4).

Very pleasant. Lots of cultural history. Mrs.Yolanda and the other staff members are very polite, professional, and accommodating. Her nephew participates in short films.

The recreational faculty has plenty of arts and crafts for children as well as adults. They have PlaySafe, bike building in which the kids get to take the bike home after, and information for how to obtain free groceries, and 211 pamphlets for the community regarding government assistance.

The recreational center has free dance classes Monday and Wednesday from 1-2:30 p.m. I look forward to attending.

I booked the auditorium with Mrs Yolanda for my first book Interview with JL King for May 15th at 4:30 p.m. The experience at the center was wonderful. I shall be completing the community survey I picked up while there....
