Please don’t turn our Parks to office buildings, please?
There’s already an old eyesore of a building(park office) there which is underutilized due to its size and lack of amenities. I think replacing it with something on this scale is entirely appropriate. 63% of the building will contain public amenities sorely missing from the park.
As much as I also lament the privatization of public space, I’m okay with this one. It appears that everything in this building will be for public benefit. Given that IndyParks is so painfully underfunded and can’t afford to make capital improvements on its own, I think this is a decent partnership.
This is the only way to get this sort of improvement in Broad Ripple Park. Indy Parks does not have the funds to build such a building. They are not proposing to reduce any green space; just improve the existing family center. I think it is a great solution and does not take funds from the park. The added park amenities in the proposed building that the family center could offer to the community are tremendous. (Additional classes, etc.)
What classes? Fill me in.

Wow, look at that, apparently they’re proposing to remove every tree in the park. I don’t think that’s what people want.
Hardly, site of this building is not even an acre, maybe two out of 60 acres at Broad Ripple Park. The rendering is just that a rendering, situated to show a viewshed , but the building is situated on the same footprint of the current family center, parking lot and other current improvements. There is no plan to clear cut trees from the park. Look at the park Master plan for the tree situation. You will see it is quite committed to tree preservation. http://www.broadrippleparkmasterplan.com/
As if the new apartment building going up to the west isn’t ugly enough, could this be any more bland and bound to fall into an abandoned school type eyesore almost before it’s built. I agree it should be built, but couldn’t we try a little harder to give it some visual life? It will make what goes on inside seem more inviting.
This is a public PARK supported by taxpayers. Building a privately owned facility which will use 38% of the space of this proposed facility is not in keeping with the purpose of a PARK.
There are numerous health clinics nearby, including the new Jane Pauley clinic at 75th & Shadeland.
As others have stated, this proposed facility is taking up greenspace and requires removal of trees – both signature items in a PARK.
Efforts should be made for soliciting donations from both corporate and individual donors, where naming rights to areas, etc. could be granted.
Too bad the new building appears as a 1980-1990’s mediocre school-medical look piece of architecture. Parks usually want to appear a bit more esthetic and have a natural look for their buildings. Another opportunity not properly capitalized upon.
