From Director Parks & Recreation
to Pike Soccer Club members.
Dear Pike
Soccer Club Member,
Indy Parks and Recreation is excited about its partnership with Pike
Youth Soccer Club to establish the Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex at
West 56th Street and Reed Road. Once completed, this facility will
serve the fitness and recreational needs of Marion County families for
many years. This project has gone through several phases of safety,
traffic, and environmental impact research since the concept was
approved by the Eagle Creek Park Advisory Council in the Eagle Creek
Master Plan (1997). The result is a product that combines the
construction of the soccer fields and the first leg of the Eagle Creek
Greenways Trail. By combining the two projects, Indy Parks and Pike
Youth Soccer saved both construction time and taxpayer money. Indy
Parks remains committed to this project and to expanding the
recreational opportunities to Northwest side residents. I assure you
that the time and research put into this project by Indy Parks, Pike
Youth Soccer Club, and the Department of Public Works has been necessary
and critical in the planning process. Indy Parks views taxpayer
feedback as an important tool when planning the construction and layout
of new projects, which is why, throughout this project, we have remained
committed to making the planning process open to public comment and
communication.
Community support will be essential in the growth and success of the
Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex as not only a community recreational
park, but also a Northwest side community jewel for future generations.
Sincerely,
Director, Indianapolis Parks and Recreation
