The Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience® is more than a fun park. It’s an interactive athletics wonderland, right here in the heart of sports-loving Central Indiana.

Through “my-sized” sports sampling and inclusive, no-fear fun, the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience® encourages a lifelong love of sport in children of all ages and abilities. It’s a starting line where little legends-in-training can learn meaningful lessons, begin healthy habits, and make lasting memories with their Home Team—their family and closest friends.

Discover your strengths in a new sport, or learn about a sport you love in a whole new way. 

This is the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience®.
This is where legends begin.

What makes the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience® different from any other sports experience?

Accessible equipment
Adaptive equipment is available for each sport in our outdoor experiences, including:

  • Basketballs, soccer balls, and tennis balls for visitors who are blind or who have low vision
  • Brightly colored, soft material footballs, baseballs, and softballs with holes that are easier to grip
  • Adaptive fitness pad equipment
  • Sport wheelchairs

“My-sized” sports
The Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience® was designed with all ages in mind! We have sports equipment for the littlest legends-in-the-making for a memorable “my-sized” sports experience. This includes:

  • We have different-sized basketballs for different-sized hands
  • Our basketball goals have multiple heights
  • Find the perfect-sized putters and tennis rackets

“My-sized” equipment helps make the play better. And when the play is better, the day is better!

Double-Goal Certified coaches
Our coaches are Double-Goal Coach certified through the Positive Coaching Alliance? We honor the game here, understanding that sports is a tool to help children learn life lessons and strengthen their character. Our coaching philosophy is built upon the R.O.O.T.S.—Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates, and Self—of Honoring the Game.

7.5 acres of outdoor sports
Run, jump, pass, catch, shoot, rally, putt, race, and score in a dozen outdoor sports. Rookies and all-stars alike will have a ball in this one-of-a-kind experience, where everybody wins because we keep score in smiles!
