Spades Park Bird Sanctuary

When you’re out for a stroll in Spades Park, listen carefully for the sounds of wildlife. Spades Park is a designated Bird Sanctuary. The park is maintained by the Indy Parks Land Stewardship Team to provide an optimal habitat for both local and migratory birds. Depending on the time of year, you might spy a Yellow Throated Warbler, Carolina wren, Chickadee, or red-tailed hawk amongst the trees. A two-acre area has been designated as a protected prairie which serves as a home for ground-dwelling animals like rabbits and chipmunks.
