At just four acres, the Watson Road Bird Preserve is one of Indy Parks’ smallest sites, but it provides an important oasis for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife just blocks from the Indiana State Fairgrounds. First established in 1925, the preserve is a destination for Indy Birding and easily accessed by the Fall Creek Greenway Trail. The natural area of Watson Road Bird Preserve is managed by the DPW Land Stewardship Team, who oversee 1600 acres of natural habitat throughout the Indy Parks system.
