Located just north of Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Bicentennial Unity Plaza will be home to a community basketball court that will be converted to a seasonal ice rink, community-based public programming, and new public art thanks to a $28.47 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc.

At least 80 percent of programming on the plaza is reserved for community activities and public performances, and a specially designed 30-ft. by 110-ft. sculpture, titled “Together,” will harken feelings of community.

Indianapolis is known for a clearly connected downtown sphere, navigable through marked trails for both walkers and bikers. The Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick, the 8-mile biking and pedestrian trail that connects downtown Indy with nearby cultural districts, will undergo its first major expansion in its 10-year history. Two new stretches to the internationally recognized path are in progress along South Street and Indiana Avenue.
The South Street expansion will bring the Indianapolis Cultural Trail from New Jersey Street to Capitol Avenue, improving access in a thriving stretch of downtown that includes Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indiana Convention Center. Indiana Avenue, home to the Madam C.J. Walker Legacy Center and historic, popular jazz scene that lasted until the 1970s, will be more accessible from the downtown core. With increased connectivity to these downtown landmarks by 2024, attendees will be able to explore more nearby neighborhoods here in the Circle City.
