White River State Park Extension
INDY’S BACKYARD IS GETTING BIGGER!
White River State Park is adding a 15-acre extension located on the west bank of the White River on a site once occupied by a General Motors manufacturing facility. This extension is the largest addition to the park since its founding in the early 1980s. The project will preserve and repurpose what remains of the Indianapolis GM Stamping Plant and include other amenities that leverage the site’s proximity to the White River and Valley Neighborhood and take advantage of panoramic views of the Indianapolis skyline.
“White River State Park is a crown jewel for our state, and it’s going to get even better with this latest strategic investment,” said Gov. Holcomb. “We are kicking off a new era for the park while simultaneously preserving an important icon of our state’s industrial and manufacturing heritage. Lilly Endowment’s support is once again making a project that has been years in the making into a modern day reality and we are profusely grateful for their support. When completed, this addition to the White River State Park will serve as a glorious gateway to a vibrant innovation district complemented by this important community asset for nearby residents and visitors alike to enjoy.”
