About

Andrew Ramsey Park sits in one of Indianapolis's most pleasant north-side neighborhoods, just blocks from the Butler University campus. This quiet community park offers free outdoor recreation for families, including playground equipment suited for toddlers and young children, open green lawns for casual sports and play, and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere that invites families to slow down and enjoy some fresh air.

With a 4. 0 Google rating from 75 reviews, the park is clearly appreciated by its regular visitors. It's a neighborhood-scale park — not a major destination — but for families in the area or visitors exploring the north side of Indianapolis, it's an easy, welcoming stop.

The tree-lined surroundings make it particularly beautiful in fall, and the proximity to Butler University means the area has a collegiate energy that adds to the appeal.

Parking is easy to find along the surrounding residential streets. Indy Parks maintains the grounds well, and the park is open every day from 8 AM to 9 PM. Combine a park visit with a stroll around Butler's stunning campus or lunch at one of the nearby restaurants on 42nd Street for a full family morning out.
