Be More Active

Pioneering Healthy CommunitiesThere are only two ways to lose weight; eat less or be more active. The city of Lawrence provides the perfect platform to be more active. The City has nearly 30% of its total acreage committed to green space. This green space includes parks, sports fields, trails, and golf courses.

We believe this is one of the highest ratios of green space in Indiana and the country. Our citizens have every opportunity to walk, play and to enjoy the great outdoors. In addition to the wonderful green space the City of Lawrence has seven high quality fitness facilities to appeal to everyone’s taste.

When it comes to golf courses the City of Lawrence does not have to take a back seat to anyone. The City has four outstanding public and private courses. Golf Magazine has voted the Fort Harrison golf course as one of the USA’s finest golf courses.

The City is blessed with an abundance of trails and sidewalks, which greatly facility walking, and biking. You can click here to see a map of the trails and sidewalks.

Historic Fort Harrison has some of the best walks in Central Indiana, and it is possible to bike from the Fort to downtown Indianapolis mainly on separated trails.
