Clayton & LaSalle Park

Clayton and LaSalle Park on South LaSalle Street is a neighborhood park on Indianapolis's near east side that provides local families with a simple, welcoming outdoor space for everyday play and recreation. The park occupies a comfortable residential setting surrounded by some of the city's most actively reinvested neighborhoods, including the adjoining Bates-Hendricks district.

The playground area is designed for younger children, with equipment that keeps toddlers and elementary-age kids occupied through a morning or afternoon visit. The open lawn provides room for children to run, explore, and direct their own play without the constraints of a more structured facility. The park's neighborhood-scale character makes it particularly appealing for families with young children who benefit from a calm, uncrowded environment.

Located between the Fountain Square and Bates-Hendricks neighborhoods, Clayton and LaSalle Park sits within easy reach of some of Indianapolis's most vibrant local dining and arts scenes. A visit to the park can easily pair with a meal at a nearby Fountain Square restaurant or a visit to the neighborhood's murals and cultural spots. For families on the near east side, this park is a dependable and free community resource.
