years ago, I thought if I ever hit the lottery, I’d sponsor about 20 of these courts throughout Indy. They should be lighted and protected.
I love this idea and think its really cool and I hope its the first of many!
The courts at Tarkington Park are utilized from dawn until dusk in the summer.
It’s such a nice amenity for local kids
First time for tennis court style fencing around a basketball court, at least in Indy.? We’ll find out how that works. We’ll also find out how the residential folks within a few blocks adjust to the sound of bouncing balls all night long, which is one reason why our neighborhood city parks had to close at dusk.
There aren’t any homes close enough for this to be a concern.
Oh, the humanity
The sound of bouncing baskeballs can’t be heard over the sirens of police cars and ambulances, or of tires blowing after hitting potholes.
Do you have any idea where this is located? I didn’t think so. The closest homes are at Fletcher and East which unless someone is dribbling a metal basketball will be far away from earshot of the court.
I thought there were some restrictions on how this property got used because of an eminent domain case against Mascari?!!
A public park is land used for the benefit of the public, which is the legal justification for an eminent domain taking. So, it should present no issue.
The land is owned by Lilly but will be open to the public.
60 years ago, countless tennis courts were built in Australia, and that country produced Margaret Court, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, Ken Roswell, Evonne Goolagong, and Ashleigh Barty, among other Aussie champions
Caitlin Clark continues to be an incredible advocate for Indy. We are grateful every day that she continues to invest in our community.
