The third public meeting for public input for the Broad Ripple Park master plan was held at Broad Ripple High School on May 3rd, 2018, there were approximately 90 in attendance. The planning process was explained. There will be four public meetings. The first two for public input, the third to show the proposed plan and gather more feedback, and the fourth to show the final proposal. The meeting was pretty quiet until the end when attendees spoke back about subjects like cutting mature trees and protecting wildlife. It is now clear that an outdoor pool is not part of the proposal for this phase of the park. It was also announced that the recycling area would be removed and the boat ramp may move to Ravenswood (there was an assurance that this would not interfere with the annual fireworks).

A major change to the park would be the addition of a through road with distributed parking. This road could be gated off about a third of the way in from both ends to allow for a farmers market on the middle section of the road. Several areas are planned to increase the public interaction with the White River.

The final public meeting will be held at 6pm on May 23rd, 2018, at BRHS in the cafeteria.
