Ransom Place Pocket Park
Park
The Ransom Place Neighborhood Association and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful worked together to turn an underutilized lot, across from the Cultural Trail, into a pocket park and gateway into the neighborhood. The community’s vision was not only to be a gathering space with stage/deck for residents but highlight the historic significance of Ransom Place and serve as an outdoor classroom for all of Indianapolis. Surrounded by IUPUI, Indiana Avenue, Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, and 10th St. the Ransom Place neighborhood worked to transform an empty lot into a neighborhood showpiece that highlights the history and defines the neighborhood from the institutions around it.
