Random Historic Photo - BR Park 1960
posted: Mar. 05, 2026

This issue's Random Historic Photo is from 1960. It is from my grandmother's photo album. It is a picture of my aunt on the swing at Broad Ripple Park, but it also shows a hot dog stand behind her to the right (probably near the old, large swimming pool). I don't know exactly where this was in the park, but I think it is just north of where the swings are today. Do any readers remember?
