Located at 2319 Nowland in Indianapolis, IN, Chinquapin Oak Park stands as a tribute to a majestic oak tree that has graced the area for over 300 years. This charming pocket park, a labor of love by Springdale neighbors, was brought to life with the help of a KIB greenspace grant. Enthusiasts of history will delight in the informative panels scattered throughout the park, recounting tales dating back to the oak's humble beginnings—a time predating Indiana's statehood.
Immersed in the park's serene atmosphere, visitors are greeted by a carefully curated landscape featuring native flora such as Virginia bluebells and woodland poppies. The heartwarming genesis of this green haven traces back to Chris Hartley, a former Springdale president, who safeguarded the oak tree from an impending demolition. As the house standing in its shadow was dismantled, the true magnificence of this ancient oak was revealed, sparking the inception of Chinquapin Oak Park as a testament to nature's enduring beauty.
