How does Indy's park system compare to the rest of the nation?

2024-07-12

It’s no secret that Hoosiers love spending time outdoors — but how does our

park system compare to others across the US?

The 2024 ParkScore Index by nonprofit Trust for Public Land gives us some insight, evaluating Indy’s parks based on five traits: acreage, access, investment, amenities, and equity. Take a look at a few local statistics:

Indy is home to 229 parks.
Parks make up 4% of the city’s land, landing below the national median of 15%.
36% of Indy residents live within a 10-minute walk to a park.
Low-income households have the greatest access to nearby parks, with 40% living within a 10-minute walk.
