Garfield Park

One of my favorite parks! Plenty of walking trails, beautiful trees, relatively clean, and they have the farmers market throughout the summer. Coffee shops, and food always near by too.

My husband and I visited this park with our dog while we were staying nearby. This was our first visit and we were really impressed with the size of the park and how clean it is. Parking is conveniently located throughout the park, as are benches. Walking trails traverse the area, and provide a lot of places for our dog to sniff. We saw a lot of dogs and appreciated that all of them were on leash. We visited in the winter and are looking forward to returning sometime when the gardens are in bloom. The large Pagoda is an interesting and unique feature. The amphitheater was a surprise and I look forward to learning more about their schedule. The Arts Center was by far our favorite feature, as it's such a great asset to the community. I love that there are so many mature trees left here. In my hometown we have a park director who is having many of our old trees ripped out and taking the natural areas away for paved areas and recreational sites. It's lovely to see that Indianapolis Parks values nature and allowing each park to have its own personality!

I always enjoy spending time in the sun watching the squirrels run around and sometimes feed them chips

I was massively impressed by Garfield park. More specifically though, I thought the conservatory was beautiful! And the people in there were very nice! I saw a lot in there that I was not expecting! I recommend this as a place to visit! You won’t regret it!

This is a great park for walking, jogging, etc. Plenty of trails and the grounds are pretty well-kept. The trees are just beautiful, as is the conservatory. There is also a basketball court, tennis court, arts center, playground, and a pool! I believe the pool is only open during very specific hours in the summertime.
