whether golf should continue to
occupy such a large portion of the
park's land-use program. Research
into the revenue generated by golf
- versus the cost of course maintenance and operations - also
suggested that changing the golf
courses to other uses could present
an opportunity for more significant
revenue generation. For example,
one of Indy Parks' dog parks generated $60,000 in revenue one year
compared to the net revenue of
$14,000 generated that same year
from one of the golf courses at Riverside Park.
Two of the courses were also
located in floodplains and experienced frequent damage from flooding. The design team explored
more than 10 different land-use
concepts that evaluated the benefits
and liabilities of changing 18-hole
courses to 9 holes, transitioning entire courses to other uses and connecting existing separate courses
into one golf experience. Each of
the concepts was generated with
the input from the Steering Committees, and the public was given

the opportunity to express its preferences for the various ideas.
Feedback gleaned through the online survey, stakeholder interviews
and open houses, ultimately, led to
the decision to transition the South
Grove and Riverside golf courses to
other uses. South Grove's new uses
included a pedestrian promenade,
new baseball facility, tennis center,
unprogrammed green space and
multiuse playfields. Riverside's new
uses include an ecology-based adventure park, featuring constructed
wetlands and a canopy walk, cyclocross and mountain bike courses,
and a bike park, urban farm, disc
golf course and nature center. The
plan proposed that Coffin Golf
Course remain an 18-hole course
that would be improved to include a
new clubhouse and other amenities,
and Riverside Golf Academy remain and be improved as an instructional venue and potential home for
the Indiana Golf Association.

Implementation Strategy
