This past Wednesday, the Indianapolis Colts, Indianapolis Parks Foundation and Indy Parks announced that they will construct a fitness park in Riverside Park on the city’s northwest side, according to a press release.
The new fitness park will include a PLAY 60 Challenge Course, 40-yard dash and exercise equipment. With more than 5,000 square feet of play space, the project will provide a place for families and children to exercise and spend time outdoors.
The project is being funded by the Indianapolis Colts Foundation through the team’s 50/50 Gameday Raffle, and the NFL Foundation to support the health and wellness of the communities served by Riverside Park and the surrounding areas.
This is the first fitness park of its kind to be built in the Midwest and is part of the Colts ongoing commitment to encourage Hoosiers of all ages to be active at least 60 minutes each day through the NFL’s PLAY 60 Campaign.
It is scheduled to open this September and is expected to serve more than 30,000 individuals annually.
