Indy Parks & Recreation's official Krannert Park page confirms new basketball and pickleball courts are currently under construction as part of a park-wide renovation (Family Center already reopened Jan 2024 after a separate $10.8M renovation), with outdoor-court work expected to finish late 2026. Pickleball is not yet playable here.
