Since 2013, the Pacers Foundation and Pacers Sports and Entertainment have supported The Parks Alliance formerly the Indianapolis Parks Foundation, to build, renovate, or upgrade basketball courts in Indy Parks throughout Marion County.  The Parks Alliance, in partnership with Indy Parks and the Department of Public Works, has managed funding and construction of the basketball court renovations through this public-private partnership.  As a result additional funders—including the Indianapolis Urban League, Finish Line Youth Foundation, NCAA, and the Boiler Business Exchange—have also invested in one of the park’s most utilized amenities.
