Today is all about play. When we invest in play, we invest in progress. Play facilitates connection, and strengthens bonds between friends, family, and neighbors.

A well-designed park can inspire imagination and spark dreams that shape the future. A renovated basketball court becomes a stage for teamwork and mentorship. A playground becomes a gateway for discovery.

Vibrant parks and amenities increase tourism, help businesses thrive, and attract talent.

Indy’s future depends on how we prioritize play.

The Parks Alliance of Indianapolis is a non-partisan 501(c)3 non-profit, and proud partner of Central Indiana Community Foundation, that exists to connect resources to needs by uniting government and community on behalf of Indy Parks.
