Riverside Park

Had a great time at Riverside Park. There was plenty of room for the reunion that we had. If there was one takeaway, it would have to be the port-a-potties. At least the one in the area that we were at in the back of the park. This port-a-potty was disgusting and needed to be cleaned

Love the new upgrades & additions to the area, so inviting. Certainly enjoyed the Black Joy event a few weeks ago. Keep up the great work in that community 👏🏾

We got a shelter for my daughter's Open House. She graduated from IU Bloomington and it was spacious and reasonable in cost. There were plenty of trash bins and a port a potty close, since it was the weekend and bathrooms were locked. The thunderstorms rolled in, but we made it and the sun shined again!

* 🎾 Around twelve (12) tennis courts * 🏀 Two (2) full basketball courts * 🚻 Restrooms (often closed.) Also portable toilets. * Roofed picnic pavilions * ⚽ ⚾ 🏈 "Excessive" space devoted to rough baseball/softball diamonds, and fields usable for soccer (maybe 10 acres worth?) * 🛝 A couple playgrounds * 🚿 💦 Riverside Aquatic Family Center, with water spray grounds. Open in summer. * 🏩 Indoor Family Recreation Center. Includes indoor basketball courts 🏀. I believe this center also hosted food pantry distribution in 2023 (Wednesdays, 1pm to 3pm.) * 🎭 Taggart Memorial Amphitheatre Note: I'm only considering the roughly ⅒th mile² area between 30th St and Burdsal Pkwy, to the east of the White River. The full Riverside Regional Park is gargatuan at > 1 mile sq., and includes golf courses and other areas.

The park itself is really nothing special except for the views and for photo taking. It is not very suitable for having a picnic as there is very little shade. My advice would be to get some nice photos of the river and of the man-made boat island and move along. Pro Tip: Sundown is very nice in the park; sunrise is not as great, based on the angles
