The White River runs along the edge of Broad Ripple Park and has shaped the park throughout its history. Visitors can enjoy views of the river from the park, walk along the riverfront, or use the public boat ramp to get on the water.

The river also supports birds, pollinators, and other wildlife found throughout the park.

Wildflowers add color to the park and provide food and habitat for insects, birds, and other wildlife. Different plants bloom throughout the growing season, so there is often something new to see.

Friends of Broad Ripple Park volunteers help care for planted and natural areas by removing invasive plants, maintaining gardens, and supporting native plants.
