About
Established in 1970, this 99-acre park contains abundant opportunities for active as well as passive recreation for all ages. Nature trails, a pond, a playground, and basketball courts make this park a popular attraction and a challenge to the more “outdoorsy” individuals on the southeast side of Indianapolis.
Franklin Township Park is one of the 42 parks receiving investment from the Lilly Endowment Grant. A $2.85 million project will support construction of a new playground, shelter, hardcourts, and paving the existing nature trail. The project is expected to begin in late 2024.
