The primary goal of the Parks and recreation facilities are low-cost community amenities that help 2020 City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Master Plan is to ensure the define a community’s identity, facilitate community health, and act as a city’s recreational system meets the quality of life, health, and accessibility positive economic catalyst for nearby properties. As a direct connection needs of its residents and visitors, as well as ensuring the city is planning with the natural environment, park and recreation facilities provide a break and prioritizing its resources and improvements in an effective manner. from the indoor environment. This purpose is complementary to the mission of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department that also focuses on improving quality of life Long-term health benefits have also been proven to stem from the usage through: of recreation facilities. Examples of these health benefits include: reduced • Providing quality parks and recreation experiences; risk of obesity, lower stress levels, improved interpersonal relationships, improved mental health, and the formation of beneficial health and wellness • Being good stewards of the open space, natural resources, and habits. parkland; and Parks and recreation are one of the primary engagers of children and youth, • Providing quality facilities and programs for parks and recreation users both in leisure time and structured sports programs. A facilitator of social and consumers. interaction, park programs offer an opportunity for youth to fully engage The following chapter is intended to outline the purpose and benefits of themselves with others and enjoy recreational activities without worry or park planning. It outlines park facilities, defines the planning area as the city restraint. The formation of competitions and leagues also offer adult users a boundary, and discusses both the operations and organizational structures healthy outlet for rivalries with friends, family, and colleagues. of the parks and recreation board, department, and community partners.

The 2020 City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Master Plan analyzes the current inventory of park facilities Finally, parks are economic drivers. A report from the National Recreation within the community and evaluates both their condition and effective and Parks Association in 2017 found that US parks contribute $166 billion usage. Future projects and facility maintenance can then be prioritized in economic activity, with the Indiana figure being $1.08 billion. These accordingly, with responsible parties, outlined action steps, and very clearly figures do not include the economic benefits resulting from improved identified funding sources. health and wellness, visitor spending, and community image. In a 2019 area development survey, 80% of corporate executives rated quality of life Additionally, having an updated parks and recreation master plan gives the community the ability to apply for funding from state agencies. This funding features as an important factor when choosing a location for a headquarters, often comes in the form of grants, giving the community a significant (if factory, or other company facility. temporary) boost in their spending capacity. This gives communities the ability to pursure projects normally outside of their means. 10 CITY OF LAWRENCE WHERE IS THE CITY OF LAWRENCE LOCATED? The City of Lawrence is an independent municipality located in the northeast of Marion County, Indiana. Surrounded on all sides by Marion County with the exception of its eastern border with McCordsville, the city is boxed in with communities on all sides. Dominated primarily by built-out urban subdivisions and the large woodland that is Fort Harrison State Park, only a small portion of Lawrence’s southeast remains as undeveloped farmland. The relatively affluent City of Fishers is located to the northwest, with the City of Indianapolis sharing a border both to the west and south. To the east, the City of McCordsville remains largely undeveloped, leaving much of the land east of Lawrence comprised of small farming communities and expansive farmland. In terms of transportation, the city is fairly accessible with Interstate 465 running north/ south along the west portion of the city limits. There are two interchange ramps; one located at East 56th Street and one located at US 36/ Pendleton Pike. US 36 runs diagonally through the city, making connectivity from Indianapolis and McCordsville easy. Furthermore, Interstate 70 is located just south of Lawrence, which provides a direction to the eastern portion of the state and connects to Interstate 65 in Indianapolis. PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN 11 WHAT DOES PARKS AND RECREATION LOOK LIKE IN LAWRENCE? The City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department manages and maintains 270 acres of parkland through the city. Each parks and recreational facility serves its own unique purpose and offers users different amenities. While some facilities may only offer passive recreational opportunities such as open space, SYSTEM OVERVIEW other facilities provide active recreational opportunities such as sports fields or designated hiking trails. Most of the total acreage is spread across 10 park facilities including: TOTAL ACRES OF PARKLAND 270 • Explorer Park 1.5 ACRES OF WATER • Richardt (Soccer) Park • Lawrence Community Park 5.5 ACRES PER 1000 RESIDENTS • Alexander Park (Charney) • Eugene Burns Park 10 CITY-OWNED PARK LOCATIONS • Lee Road Park 56 SPORT FACILITIES • Bragdon Wetlands Park • Louis J.

  • Fort Benjamin Harrison: from Military Base to Indiana State
    FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON: FROM MILITARY BASE TO INDIANA STATE PARK Melanie Barbara Hankins Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University April 2020 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Rebecca K. Shrum, Ph.D. ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements During my second semester at IUPUI, I decided to escape the city for the day and explore the state park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. I knew very little about the park’s history and that it was vaguely connected to the American military. I would visit Fort Harrison State Park many times the following summer, taking hikes with my dog Louie while contemplating the potential public history projects at Fort Harrison State Park. Despite a false start with a previous thesis topic, my hikes at Fort Harrison State Park inspired me to take a closer look at the park’s history, which eventually became this project. Finishing this thesis would have been nearly impossible without the encouragement and dedication of many people. First, I need to thank my committee: Dr. Philip Scarpino, Dr. Rebecca Shrum, and Dr. Anita Morgan for their criticism, support, and dedication throughout my writing process. I would especially like to thank my chair, Dr. Scarpino for his guidance through the transition of changing my thesis topic so late in the game.

  • Music in I Ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944'
    Music In I ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944’ MARTHAF. EELLINGER Developments in music since nineteen hundred, which were based largely on the foundations pi’eviously laid, in- volved notable and significant advances. The outstanding features of this peviod are the establishment of the People’s Concert Association and the People’s Chorus, the foundation of the lndianapolis hranch of the National Federation of Music Clubs, the expansion of the Matinee Musicale, the rapid development of applied and theoretical music in the public schools, and the founding of the Indiana State Sym- phony Orchestra. In the early years of the century a group of citizens headed by Edward €3. Birge, Director of Music in the Public Schools, conceiving the idea oi offering good music, com- parable to that of the May fePtival days, on a non-profit sys- tem, and of making a bid for a larger audience, organized the People’s Concert Association. The sale of two or three thousand seats, at twenty-five or fifty cents each, would guarantee the engagement of fine artists, and at the same time afford opportunity for the production of major com- positions in which the local organizations would participate. Mindful of financial hazards, the committee at first sought and obtained eighty guarantors who promised to back the enterprise to the extent of ten dollars each, but as it turned out, no guarantor was ever asked to pay. The creation of an audience-a x:er*y large audience-was the crux of the problem, and it was solved iii a large measure by the fine co-operation of the puhlic school teaching staffs.
