Summary
Holiday Park, one of Indianapolis’ oldest parks and home to the Saint Paul Building ruins, offers woodland trails and public amenities; the park’s playground is undergoing a $3 million upgrade supported by the Lilly Endowment, the city said.
Holiday Park on Indianapolis’ North Side, which spans nearly 100 acres along the White River, features the city’s display of the Saint Paul Building “ruins,” Sydney Starks said on the Tuesday '10 program. The facade and statues were salvaged when New York’s Saint Paul Building was demolished in the 1950s; Indianapolis won a national competition to host the pieces and installed them in Holiday Park.
Starks said Holiday Park includes an arboretum, native gardens and a nature center. She also said the park is receiving a $3,000,000 playground upgrade through a partnership between the City of Indianapolis and the Lilly Endowment.
The program encouraged residents to visit Holiday Park and noted the park’s schedule of events and programs organized by Indy Parks.
