The fields have dugouts and some nice picnic table areas between them. The are lighted and better than average. The complex is named after Chuck Klein AKA the Hoosier Hammer. Klein played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates and led the National League in home runs four times, and won the NL Most Valuable Player Award in 1932. What you may not know is that there is a football field buried behind the softball fields, hence its real name, Chuck Klein Sports Complex. The football field needed a good mowing when I was there and the goal post are adequate. They will get the job done. I really like the patio area in the complex building that is up high and overlooks the fields. There are tables and chairs up there. At the front of the complex, near the entrance is a shelter with picnic tables. Next to the shelter is a horseshoe pit that has seen better days. In addition to that, there is some huge green space surrounding the shelter. You can do a lot of outdoor activities there. So, you do not need to actually be playing an organized sport to enjoy the park. This is a nice place to host a softball tournament or league. They have also hosted rugby, cricket and ultimate frisbee. I visited the park off season, and they were still working on the complex's maintenance. The staff here is awesome as well.

One of them dips pretty severely in center field so that's a bit of a hazard. Last night we lost by a pretty large margin.

Most of the area is uneven grass, though it's usually cut, and there aren't many good walking paths within the park itself. I've listened to live music at the amphitheater and really enjoyed that! I've also longboarded here; the main path along the road seems newer and usually clear. I've played tennis on the courts too, but they could use just a little TLC. Really, the whole park could. Still, it's a peaceful spot with room to grow.

But the grounds are overgrown and weedy, equipment fading and in disrepair and my encounter with staff was not uplifting. The pool is locked and empty. I inquired about the status at the front desk. The clerk did not look up from her computer but said the pool was being serviced and they had no idea if and when it would be fixed. I didn't see anyone working on the pool. Since they have a summer camp in session, it would be great if the pool was operational. There is a really nice set of tennis courts (12ish). There is green space for football and a baseball diamond. A nice set of workout equipment from the Colts seems in need of a good cleaning. I was excited to find a boat ramp with parking area. This area needs to be cleaned and patrolled. The River access site is beautiful. The park offers free daily lunches to those in need and also provides summer camps. I found these resources valuable to the community. I was really surprised to find the park not pristine and vibrant for 4th of July holiday. The flagpoles were even empty.

It could use some landscaping, emptying of trash cans and renovation of the fields and tennis courts. They have a community center, a ball field, tennis courts in the back and an aquatic center. They also have a playground and two covered pavilions that you can rent for events. The pavilions do come with some strict rules though. The pavilions and their picnic tables are in dire need of a thorough pressure washing. You can however, fish in the lake. I saw someone doing it while I was there, but I am not sure how well stocked it is though. On a positive note, the recreation staff is very friendly and there is ample parking. The lake has blue benches all around that you can stop, rest and take it all in. There are ducks all over the place....I really mean all over the place. Almost too many of them.

Oh the Rivy! I have such fond memories of coming here growing up. Great location , large pool,…read morecomfortable environment. I came here with a friend recently for a swim in the pool. And it's the same great big pool I remember from when I was a kid. The reception area looks the same as it did back when I was a kid. I was a bit disappointed to see the bottom of the pool was exposed concrete with many cracks having been repaired with white epoxy seams. There was crumbled bits of concrete on the floor of the pool that I accidentally stepped on and felt like I was walking on rocks (OUCH). The locker room was okay, somewhat maze like, and could use a face lift. I went to take a shower after my dip and it ran cold to scalding with no opportunity for adjustment in between. Such a great location and facility. With so many possibilities.

The park is named after George Rhodius Jr, the son of German immigrants that left an endowment to the Parks Department after his death in 1909. The park has two playgrounds, located on opposite ends of the park. The smaller one is by the parking lot and has an accessible jungle gym with slides, a set of traditional swings and a picnic table. This area is lined with wood chips. The other playground area, that is near the school is larger and the better of the two. It is lined with plastic tiles and has a large set of traditional swings there. There is a huge jungle gym with a bunch of bridges and a few slides. There is also a musical gazebo that kids can play with some music making instruments. It is nothing really special though. So, don't set you hopes too high on this one. The park has about 4 baseball diamonds that have seen better days. The fields are not well maintained and could probably only serve as a field for a preschoolers pick up game. It is such a large and spread out park that there is green space available where you can do field sports such as soccer or football, play catch, fly a kite, or have a picnic. There are three decent tennis courts that are lighted at the park and a field hockey court right next to them. The park also has two shelters with a bunch of picnic tables under them, but I did not see any grills nearby. The park is one of the few Indianapolis parks that has a pool. I can during the off season when it was also packed away for the winter, but it looks like a decent complex. The pool is housed in the park's family center and you can find a fitness center, youth game room, large community room, a dance studio, arts and crafts area, conference room, full kitchen a sensory room and a gym. There is a decent paved trail that goes around the park and is between a mile and a half mile. It can be used for running, walking, biking, or just strolling. This is a decent old school park. It has a lot to offer and does not get as packed as other parks. Personally, I am more of a modern playground type of guy, but this still works. There are much worst parks that you can visit.

Kuntz Memorial Soccer Stadium is a longtime presence in the Riverside area. It's fairly close to…read morethe once again growing Riverside Park area along with the Waterway area (think Amp). While it falls under Indy Parks, it's managed by Riverside Sports Properties. Kuntz is considered one of Indy's premier outdoor soccer facilities with a long history of hosting local, regional, national, and international events. The stadium has two FIFA regulated game fields - 120 years in length, 75 yards wide with a championship field that can seat 5,257. It also has four newly renovated player locker rooms, an official's room, a press box, and a VIP conference room overlooking the Championship Field. In 2024, plans were announced to transform it into primarily rugby use. I think that remains to be seen, though it's had some resistance from the neighborhood. That, for me, speaks to the value of the stadium to the area as it has always been a stadium that has partnered with local groups including leagues - Central Indiana Amateur Soccer League, IHSAA, and a number of youth and high school soccer programs. The stadium is also the home of Indianapolis Alleycats, a professional ultimate frisbee league. So, how is it? First off, the complex really has been receiving some love as of late. For awhile, it was pretty run-down. However, it has been spruced up and looks appealing. The parking lot is a good-sized lot and it's fairly easy to find accessible parking. The bleachers, of course, have definite limitations in terms of access. Getting around the stadium itself is pretty accessible. The area itself is growing to a certain degree. It is still a mixture of tech, industrial, and a few non-profits utilize some office sections nearby. Kuntz is probably one of my favorite of the mid-range sports facilities in Indy. I used to get over here more often than I do these days, however, I'll still occasionally stop by for local events. I've also attended an Alleycats match. I tend to like smaller events - bigger stadiums can get a bit overwhelming. This is a modest-sized, easy to access stadium with some great options for soccer and occasionally other sports.

There was a small obstacle course of over-under walls, a farmers carry, and crossing a tight rope. The last stop was the Indiana State Museum where Abe Lincoln and some other characters cheered us on to the finish line. Participants all got a finisher's medal, t-shirt, and an arm band for a mobile phone. It was the first inaugural race and not overly crowded, but still seemed well-attended especially considering the weather conditions. Parking was convenient. I would categorize it more as a novelty race than a competitive one. There were a number of selfie stations and mascots along the course that participants were encouraged to engage with. There was free gear check, fruit, protein shakes, and one free beer each. We didn't stick around for the post-party due to the weather. I hope they continue to do this event and would only request restrooms at the water stations because they were difficult to locate along the route.
