Orange Park

A Little Local Space

Situated on the southeast side of Indianapolis, Orange Park is one of those sweet little green escapes that makes city living more breathable. Established back in 1993, this cozy one-acre spot has become a beloved part of the local landscape despite its modest size.

The park has a simple playground and swing set that might not look like much to passersby, but for neighborhood families with little ones, it's just the right size for an afternoon of fun without the overwhelming crowds of larger parks. There's something refreshingly unpretentious about this small play area that keeps local families coming back.

Peaceful Creek Views

One of the nicest things about Orange Park is its position alongside Pleasant Run, which creates a surprisingly tranquil atmosphere just steps away from city streets. The flowing water adds a natural soundtrack that helps you forget you're still in the city. Its compact footprint makes it excellent for those moments when you need a quick nature fix but don't have time for a whole excursion.

Beyond a Park

Despite its limited amenities, this little green space is part of the local neighborhood life. You'll often spot locals walking their dogs, friends catching up on a bench, or parents chatting while their kids burn off energy.

The park sits among charming residential homes, and you won't have to stress about parking - there's plenty of street space available. While Orange Park may not have the bells and whistles of Indianapolis's larger parks, it offers accessible moments of nature right in the neighborhood.
