IMPD opens mountain bike course at Washington Park

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A once-overgrown piece of land is now a mountain bike course for kids at Washington Park.

The property was donated to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department project by Indy Parks. Materials and labor were also donated.

One of the IMPD officers behind the park, John Wall, says he hopes it builds a bridge between the department and kids in the community.

Officers say they’ll keep some bikes at the park for kids who may not have one of their own.
