My mini BFF enjoyed the younger area--the small slide, the tunnels, the little hills. There are so many cool aspects of this park to climb, swing, jump, crawl,spin, and even make music. Next time I'm in this part of town, I'll be happy to stop by again!

It also has a covered pavilion with picnic tables and a grill that you can rent. I have been to a few kid birthday parties here. The playground equipment is very modern and well kept. There are swings, slides and jungle gyms. Most of the equipment is under some tarp shading. There are also park benches around the playground where parents can sit and watch the kiddos play. There is a small paved walking path around the park. I would not recommend it for the serious runner however, because you would be doing a lot of laps. The park also has a decent sized private parking lot and a well maintained basketball court. And if it could not get any better, they have a bathroom on site as well. What more could you want. Even though this park is available all year long, it is best during the summer.

There's a nice playground area, baseball diamond, tennis courts, basketball court, dog park, and a short hiking trail in the woods by Pleasant Run Creek. I lived in Greenwood for nearly a decade before realizing how much was in this park, so don't make the same mistake and check this out!

They did construction on this park semi-recently and it is so nice! The playground is full of…read moreslides, climbing areas, musical stations, and more. There are accessible areas for wheelchair users as well. The swings are best for small kids--they're low enough for those with little legs to get on and push themselves back--but no swings for older kids unfortunately. There's a nice court with low nets. I'm not sure if it's meant for pickleball, tennis, or something else. But it's bright and new with benches inside and a fence with a gate. Basketball courts are across the parking lot. There's an obstacle course section that has some adult-sized workout stations--elliptical, a stationary bike, and a step-swing thing that's name eludes me at the moment. Plenty of shaded seating for picnics and a grill under the shelter. My favorite was by the large chair -- individual seats of four around some nice tables under a pavilion. Around the playground, there are stone seating areas and benches, plus the larger shelter is right off to the side of the toddler playground area. The big drawback for me is there is no bathroom. Not even a port-a-potty. This is easily a playground that you could spend a few hours at, but without a bathroom, that becomes difficult. I hope they put one in soon! All in all, this is a great park with a little something for everyone. My mini BFFs and I will be back! Next time, I think I'll walk the trail too.

I don't know how this park started out, but I can tell you were it is now. This park is very…read moredirty. Some of the picnics tables are falling apart, there is trash everywhere, the parking lot has huge pot holes, and one pavilion looks like it was the set of one of the Hangover movies. This park is one of the worst maintained that I have seen. The grass is cut, but that is about it. The park has a huge parking area, divided between a couple of lots. There are some basket ball goals in an area, but are set up in an odd arrangement that do not allow full court. There is a playground area there. It is lined with wood chips and has the older style swings, and some toddler swings. There is also two jungle gyms and a couple of slides. The playground is accesible, but the equipment is aged. The park also has a decent restroom facility, a disc golf course, and a fitness area. There are also 3 covered pavilions with picnic tables and grills that you can rent. The pavilions, however, are trashed. They are full of garbage and just plain nasty. The bright spots of the park are the aquatic center, the huge grassy fields, and the walking/jogging trail. The fields can be used for soccer, playing catch, flag football, flying a kite, or just throwing a blanket down and relaxing. There was a lot of people walking on the trail while I was there. The trail is pretty long and goes around the park in a circle. This park was in bad shape and in need of some serious help. Outside of the trail and field I do not see much utility for the park. This park has a lot of potential and if the park's issues are corrected then it would be a great place to visit. As it is now, the park is mehhhh, and I would probably visit another park, even if it was a bit further.

The park's crown jewel may very well be its 20,000 square foot Family Center that was built in 1928. It features an auditorium, gymnasium, and classrooms - all of which can be rented. What else can you do here? There's a disc golf course. There's one of the best sledding hills around and rolling hills throughout. There are shelters for rent, basketball courts, an outdoor pool, a winter warming center, and playgrounds that continue to be under renovation. During the summer, Brookside Park is well loved. During the winter? I'll admit it starts looking a bit rough. I was driving through it today on my way to work, and I was a little dismayed by its condition. However, it's nice to see playground enhancements in process along with improved trail work. The people I meet here are almost always friendly, though the surrounding neighborhood can be a bit hit-and-miss. The family center has a nice concrete ramp into it. There's accessible parking around the park. Overall, Brookside Park is a good but not quite great park for me. It's one of Indy's legacy parks, however, I'm hoping once its upgrades are done it'll get the love it really deserves. I drive this way a lot these days as there's far less road construction to get downtown. Between this and Spades Park just a bit further up the road, it makes for a peaceful, easygoing start to my work day.
