Fairbank Indianapolis presents itself as a city known for homes and pleasure resorts inviting public recreation and vacations in hot months. Park Board adopts improvements aimed at making public parks world famous through enhanced facilities and attractions.
A historic piece on how Indianapolis plans a vast park and boulevard system under Park Commissioners led by Landscape Architect Kessler and Dr. Henry Jameson. It details new legislative powers, funding mechanisms, and goals to create beautiful, usable parks, with current site improvements at University Square, Military Park, Brookside, Garfield, Riverside, Faireview, Fairbank, and Wonderland among others.
A proposed park system centers on open streams for sanitation and flood control, linking both banks of White river, Fair creek, Pleasant and Pogues run with a parkway network. It envisions playgrounds and athletic fields, with Ellenberger woods potentially added later to serve Irvington, led by George B. Kessler and Henry Wright under the Park Commissioners.
