Lentz Park

Lentz Park is a 3.4-acre (1.4 ha) urban park in the Haughville neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The park is named after Sarah Lentz, who sold the land to Indianapolis for $1.00 in 1928.[1] Located at 700 North Traub Avenue, Lentz Park is five blocks west of the White River. Lentz Park was once a locale for amateur and semi-professional baseball, formerly playing host to a segregated baseball team.[2][3] In addition to a baseball field, the park also had a rest station, tennis court, and horseshoe pit.[4]

In 1970, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development funds were used to renovate the park with new basketball and baseball areas, balancing beams, rope swings, and sculptural trees.[5] After decades of subsequent decline, Lentz Park has been left with a small children's play area and a decrepit basketball court.[citation needed]
