Fort Harrison State Park, State park in Indianapolis, US
The 1700-acre Fort Harrison State Park contains dense forests, walking trails, and Fall Creek flowing through its northern section with extensive hiking paths.
The former military installation Fort Benjamin Harrison operated from 1903 to 1991 before transforming into a state park in 1996.
The Museum of 20th Century Warfare within the park displays military artifacts and documents the lives of soldiers who trained at Fort Harrison.
Visitors can access the park through the entrance at 59th and Post Road, with parking areas near picnic shelters and hiking trail access points.
The park maintains two national historic districts, including the preserved Citizen's Military Training Camp around the current park office in Camp Glenn.
