Indy Parks will hold open house meetings and distribute surveys this month to gather reaction to the millions of dollars of improvements it plans at more than a dozen parks.
The department received $80 million from the Lilly Endowment in 2022 and plans to improve 42 parks.
“These upgrades represent a significant investment in the future of our city and neighborhoods. We invite all residents to join us and share their input to help shape the future of our parks,” said Alex Cortwright, chief communications officer for Indy Parks.
