DISCOVER Ping Tom Memorial Park IN Chinatown
Ping Tom Memorial Park’s 12-acre site was originally a railroad yard that has been transformed into a beautiful rolling green space with impressive river views. The park features a boathouse, playground, fieldhouse with a gymnasium and swimming pool, and distinctive Chinese landscape design elements. The park is named after noted civic leader Ping Tom, who advocated at the city and state level for the importance of giving the children in Chinatown access to a safe and accessible recreational area.
