History

Dr. Wilmer Christian and his wife, Mrs. Edna Christian, donated the 75 acres of land to the city to be used as a public park after Dr. Christian's 1923 death in an automobile accident.  Dr. Christian attended Shortridge High School and was a graduate of Wabash College.  He was a well known, practicing physician in Indianapolis  (Source:  http://www.82.ips.k12.in.us/index.php?id=8657)

  
Christian Park has hosted sports leagues since the 1960s.
 
Christian Park is the proud home of the 1984 Little League World Series Runner-Up Softball Major Girls.

Mission
Christian Park athletic leagues are administrated by independent boards made up of a group of volunteers who have made a strong commitment to the community.

One of the goals of the leagues is to provide many positive alternatives for the youth in the local community.  Every child should have the opportunity to play youth sports, and the volunteers of the Christian Park athletic leagues intend to make this a positive and gratifying experience for all involved.
