About the Location
History and Origins
Little Valley Park is a small but significant neighborhood greenspace located on the south side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Covering just 0.65 acres, this park was first established in 1998 on land donated by Eli Lilly and Company.
Originally situated slightly north of its current location, the park was later moved. This relocation is part of the park's evolution amidst the industrial and residential history of its surroundings, emphasizing the effort to maintain green spaces within the urban landscape.
Amenities and Recreation
Despite its modest size, Little Valley Park serves as a focal point for local community recreation. It features basketball courts as well as open terrain for general leisure activities.
Its smaller scale makes it an intimate space for families and neighbors to enjoy outdoor activities, offering a retreat within a historically industrial area.
Community Significance
The park stands as a reminder of the neighborhood's resilience and shifting relationship with the larger industrial entities in the area, preserving a place for connection and recreation amid a changing urban environment.
