Places to go! INDIANAPOLIS EDITION!
Lawrence Skate Park was really a hidden gem and when I got there it was mostly empty. I was able to watch a few people on skateboards and it was sooo entertaining! Patron Saint: def worth it to get there a little early before going out hours because the entrance fee can go crazy sometimes ($20)
