Riverside Regional Park

The Riverside Regional Park Master Plan responds to neighboring residents’ and other Indianapolis community members’ desires for new amenities and the updating of existing park features to better serve more people. These proposed improvements include the creation of a regional aquatic center, athletic fields, the conversion of Riverside Golf Course into an adventure park, the Riverside Promenade, and the renovation of the Taggart Memorial into a performance venue, which has been accomplished with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment.

The City has secured over $6.5 million in funds for the adventure park and promenade and is seeking $11.55 million in funding for the nature zone, new trails, river zone, racing zone and the Taggart Memorial Playground. As evidenced by the significant investment in Riverside Regional Park, it is worth noting that this park is truly unlike any other – the new Riverside will offer some of the most comprehensive park services available in one location, including the following: facilities for Soap Box Derby racing, outdoor entertainment venues, boating activities, and multi-use trails. Riverside Regional Park will truly be a destination for both residents and those visiting Indianapolis; and as a regional park, Riverside draws Indianapolis residents from the entire region while still serving the needs of those living in near proximity.
