Acreage marked ~ is computed from the town GIS polygon because the town published no figure for that site. The Big-4 Rail Trail corridor is itself town parkland, so it appears here as well as on the pathway network.

On the pathway network

The town inventories 320 pathway segments totaling 43.7 miles. Most run alongside roads; the Big-4 Rail Trail is the spine the rest connect to. Of the 275 segments the town has evaluated for ADA access, 273 are compliant.

Beyond the GIS layer

Two sites the parks department runs or is building that the town GIS parks layer doesn't map yet:

Overley-Worman Park

6040 Godello Circle

Mountain-bike trails, disc golf, playgrounds, and a fishing pier along Eagle Creek.

Carpenter Nature Preserve

601 S 900 E

The 215-acre former Wolf Run golf course, planned as the town's largest nature preserve; first phase slated for 2026.

Zionsville Nature Center

250 N 5th Street

Exhibits and environmental education, inside Zion Nature Sanctuary.

Programs and reservations

Shelter rentals, programs, and hours are the parks department's, not ours.

Zionsville Parks & Recreation

How this is built

Parks and pathways are the Town of Zionsville's public GIS layers, retrieved July 2026. The layer maps town parkland only: club- and school-owned recreation sites (the Lions Park ballfields, for example) appear only where the town holds a piece, and new parks can lag. Acreage is the town's published figure where one exists, otherwise the polygon area (marked ~). Trail-access shares are straight-line distances from county parcel points, not walking routes.
