Independence Park
*INDIANA'S
FIRST ALL-ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUND AREA*
The
Johnson County Park is extremely proud of
Independence Park. Independence Park
is located at 2100 Morgantown Road just north of Stones Crossing
Road in White River Township. This 13.5 acre park boasts
Indiana’s first all-accessible playground area for persons
with disabilities. This park was developed and constructed
in 2000 with the help of over 200 businesses, civic organizations,
and individuals. The park’s location, across the road
from two elementary schools, a middle school, and high school,
is also perfect because it is centrally located in the township.
Independence Park provides the only greenspace park in White
River Township.
Since opening in September of 2000, Independence Park has
hosted several thousand visitors. Many schools bring their
students to enjoy the facilities, those who enjoy walking
and jogging use our trails, and many people have walked their
dogs in the park daily. We have listed the facilities and
events that Independence Park has to offer. We hope you will
come see our beautiful Independence Park.
