Ellenberger Park

After dinner with another ICU Nurse, we went to Ellenberger Park, just to walk...catch up. The " energy" and " essence" of that park is magical, spiritual,.almost like stepping into another time zone/universe... sounds all hooey pooey hokey ( I know) but look... This one tree had an incredible aura all around it...in the distance another tree's leaves and branches align to project a perfect light from top side to bottom. We'll be going back, and soon. Next time we'll bring dinner there. Can't get enough of that magic! Look for yourself.

A decent place for a walk on the east side of Indy. There is play equipment for the kids, a walking trail, tennis courts, a pavilion with a grill, volleyball nets and plenty of open green space for kids and pets to run and play. I saw several people walking their dogs. There is also a swimming pool, but it was closed and drained. Part of the walking trail was closed due to construction.

We had a wonderful time at this clean park for the solar eclipse. There was plenty of room to sit and eat our snacks. Cute playground with lots of people playing outdoor activities. Bathrooms were locked but a couple porta potties were provided for use.

Love to walk my dog here. They have one dog clean up station. I always bring extra grocery bags to refill it. I also bring an extra bag to pick up trash as we find litter quite often even though there are multiple trash cans.

It's went down hill badly since when I was a kid and the most recent counter productive construction for the park itself. Nothing new , fenced off everything , can't even cross the bridge , n I understand things have to take place with change n whatever project they are working on but it's been going on for way too long and it's like someone forgot about such a lovely place locals miss n wanna see it blossoming , no pool , skating , really old play ground equipment , they definitely could use some updates , mabye a splash pad for the lil ones , a basketball court , re open the pool , host events, new grills n more n. New picnic tables. I'm trying not to be negative , but I don't think money or the right people on the board of Irvington are speaking up. I hope someone does soon .

Ellenberger Park features spacious sports fields, playgrounds, and walking trails. It’s a vibrant community spot perfect for outdoor activities, family fun, and local events.

We love the pool. You have to take a swim test each time you go to go in the deep end and the life guards are a little whistle happy. But we still enjoy ourselves.
