Idle Park

I don’t like it because of how loud the highway is. I like imagining the adjacent neighborhoods before it was built.

This spot has become rundown. Lots of graffiti and broken seating. Not certain if parks department is able to care for this spot.

Vandalization is getting worse and worse. Signs are illegible or missing. It looks like at least one homeless person has moved in from around the corner. One of the stadium seats is now broken. It's sad to watch this city have good ideas and fail to follow up. None of the graffiti is even good. Lame tags all day.

I give this place five stars (rare for me) because it goes against the grain of everything. It’s hidden, yet it stands out. It’s easy to overlook, yet hard to forget. It has a simple name, yet a distinction all of its own. Indianapolis isn’t known as a quirky city, but this small park puts Indy on the map without even trying to. It’s a park with a small trail leading to...wait for it...a major interchange of two interstates. But I realized that I was looking at a moving snapshot of America. While the sound of traffic can be annoying sometimes, the hum of trucks and cars on the freeways here almost sounds like the waves of an ocean. It’s a different kind of peace here. Serenity in the middle of busyness. Slowing my mind down in the midst of speeding traffic. This park is ingenious. Kudos to all who planned and designed Idle Park. Well done, my friends.
