⚽ Thursday Night Futsal at Thatcher Park! ⚽

Looking for a fun way to stay active, brush up on your soccer skills, and connect with neighbors? Come out for indoor soccer this Thursday! Whether you're a seasoned player or just looking for a good run, everyone is welcome.

Here is everything you need to know to play:
📅 When: Every Thursday
⏰ Time: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Where: Thatcher Park (4649 W Vermont St, Indianapolis, IN 46222)
💵 Cost: Just $5 per session!

Bring your friends, your sneakers, and your game face. See you on the court!

Step up to the plate! ⚾️ The Indiana State Wiffle Ball Championship is coming to Chuck Klein Softball Complex on August 1st. Gather your crew, register your team, and compete for the title! Only $100 per team — don’t miss out!

Weather Forecast: 90 degrees, windy, with a 100% chance of the kids or grandkids hogging the neighborhood courts.

Meanwhile, our indoor courts are cool, dry, and... honestly, a little lonely! Turnout has been way too quiet lately, and the courts are feeling a bit empty. We want to get our crew back together!

If you've been skipping out because of the heat, the wind, or the rain, this is your sign to come back. We run pickleball 6 days a week (Monday–Saturday).

Grab your paddle, bring a friend, and let's get those numbers back up. Come beat the weather, get some exercise, and try your best to avoid a 0-11 pickle! 🥒 Let's fill these courts back up!

The pool is currently at capacity. At this time, we can no longer let anyone else into the pool.

Happy Friday! With a mix of heat and rain in the forecast for the next week, we have more pools opening up and several others that are close! The pools below will be open this weekend, but keep an eye on the weather and check parks.indy.gov/poolsandsplashpads before you go and for additional openings.

Don't forget that our Adult Swim Clinic starts today. This is a drop-in program and no registration is required.
