7 thoughts on “City reaches tentative deal with developer on Broad Ripple Park community, health center

  1. Among many, I believe this “medical” facility is not needed nor desired.
    I wish GOOD LUCK & MUCH SUCCESS to these plaintiffs. I hope IBJ and all other media outlets stay “on top of” this issue.

  2. Isn’t strange that a public park (of which we have little green space in our fair city) should be opened to private development? Thank you to the residents who are fighting this. Couldn’t a health center go into the space where the old MCL was?
    We need our park green space.

    1. You may need to look a bit deeper into the plans. The development would replace an existing building and parking lot. It replaces the old, smaller, and less functional community building with a larger, newer, more equipped community center, which will also house a small healthcare center. The parks department budget did not have the money to renovate/rebuild a new community center, so they are using this partnership to fund the project. We can probably agree that the parks department needs a larger budget from the city in general to fund these kinds of projects, but given the lack of enthusiasm in Indy to put public money towards necessary infrastructure like roads and parks, its not a surprise that there were few options for this project. Stopping this project will not help the park. No usable green space is being lost with this project.

  3. The pandemic underscores the folly of allowing doctors offices to operate on park land. This is not an appropriate use of park land. Community is a flawed partner even if it was. They are under DOJ investigation for Medicare fraud. There are better ways to raise funds—user fees, naming rights, private fund raising (as was done at Holliday Park).
    Community has closed their BR clinic as they don’t want Covid 19 infected persons coming to their clinic. We don’t want them in the park either!
    Tell Community Health Networks they are not wanted in Broad Ripple Park.
    Tell IndyParks to cancel the plan.
    You can take jazzercise classes at the Jordan Y, LA Fitness, or the Rivi.
    A mega Family Center is not needed.
    Tell DMD to vote no on April 21.

    1. It is irrelevant to cite the closing of the Community doctor’s offices in Broad Ripple as reason to oppose a park facility requested by hundreds of local residents during the 2018 master plan process. The Family Center also is closed, as are ALL Indy Parks facilities and ALL non-urgent care medical offices in the entire city.

  4. Parks Dept. says not enough money to expand current facility, but they will pay what appears to be over $900,000 a year in lease payments. I base this on an earlier IBJ story, if it is not correct please make note. We need to know what the parks dept. will pay in rent.
    Also, the DMD ramrods all kind of projects through that benefit developers at the cost to the public. In my dealings with them they have been deceitful as well as secretive, as they have been with others I have been in contact with.
