Garfield Park

My husband and I visited this park with our dog while we were staying nearby. This was our first visit and we were really impressed with the size of the park and how clean it is. Parking is conveniently located throughout the park, as are benches. Walking trails traverse the area, and provide a lot of places for our dog to sniff. We saw a lot of dogs and appreciated that all of them were on leash. We visited in the winter and are looking forward to returning sometime when the gardens are in bloom. The large Pagoda is an interesting and unique feature. The amphitheater was a surprise and I look forward to learning more about their schedule. The Arts Center was by far our favorite feature, as it's such a great asset to the community. I love that there are so many mature trees left here. In my hometown we have a park director who is having many of our old trees ripped out and taking the natural areas away for paved areas and recreational sites. It's lovely to see that Indianapolis Parks values nature and allowing each park to have its own personality!

One of my favorite parks! Plenty of walking trails, beautiful trees, relatively clean, and they have the farmers market throughout the summer. Coffee shops, and food always near by too.

I was massively impressed by Garfield park. More specifically though, I thought the conservatory was beautiful! And the people in there were very nice! I saw a lot in there that I was not expecting! I recommend this as a place to visit! You won’t regret it!

I always enjoy spending time in the sun watching the squirrels run around and sometimes feed them chips

This is a great park for walking, jogging, etc. Plenty of trails and the grounds are pretty well-kept. The trees are just beautiful, as is the conservatory. There is also a basketball court, tennis court, arts center, playground, and a pool! I believe the pool is only open during very specific hours in the summertime.

This is so sad this area used to be an awesome place for a family or couple to go to and now it's full of homeless people and just people up to no good such a lovely area that has gone to crap you can't even go for a walk anymore without watching your back afraid something is going to happen it was so beautiful and now it's just a terrible area the police need to do a clean house over there and bring it back to the people that want peace

Great park for a lovely stroll through very well kept grounds. The Sunken Gardens are a perfect place for enjoying the weather, beautiful landscaping, or even bringing a picnic lunch. Outside of the gardens, there are nice walking parks that go throughout the park. And while you are there, make sure to check out the conservatory as well ($2/person, currently requires getting tickets in advance). It offers amazing diversity of flowers, plants, and trees and is well worth the price of admission.
