Among our many neighborhood amenities are several great city parks, including active and spacious Broad Ripple Park. In addition to the family center, which schedules scores of classes throughout the year, the park offers an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, baseball diamond, multi-use athletic fields, playground, picnic shelters, a viewing platform over the White River, a bark park, a wooded preserve, a walking/jogging/running/bicycling and fitness path, and a boat ramp to the White River.

The Friends of Broad Ripple Park is a newly-founded organization with a passion and appreciation for the park and its many amenities. We are dedicating ourselves to provide support for the park, its programs, its facilities and its future.

To better guide our activities, we are asking our Broad Ripple neighbors to complete a brief survey about how you already use the park and what you'd like to see in the park in the future. You may complete the survey in this edition of The Gazette or take the survey online on our web site, www.broadripplepark.org.

Thank you in advance for your time and participation.
