The park is named after Sarah Lentz, who sold the land to Indianapolis for $1.00 in 1928.
[1] Located at 700 North Traub Avenue, Lentz Park is five blocks west of the White River.
[2][3] In addition to a baseball field, the park also had a rest station, tennis court, and horseshoe pit.
[4] In 1970, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development funds were used to renovate the park with new basketball and baseball areas, balancing beams, rope swings, and sculptural trees.
[5] After decades of subsequent decline, Lentz Park has been left with a small children's play area and a decrepit basketball court.
