About
Babe Denney Park may only be a little over an acre, but it sits just south of Lucas Oil Stadium providing great views of the stadium and a spot to bring the kids on Colts’ gamedays and other sporting events. The downtown park established back in 1923 provides a playground, basketball court, and shelters.
The park is scheduled to receive a new playground by 2026 thanks to funding from the Lilly Endowment.

The park was named after former Indy Parks employee Bay Edward “Babe” Denny who also served as the first African American Motorcycle Officer in the Indianapolis Police Department.
