Southern Indiana city trying to secure money for ‘parklet’ [Video]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A southern Indiana city is trying to create a ‘pocket park’ in its square.

Charlestown, Indiana is trying to crowdfund $50,000 to create a ‘parklet’ along Short Street.

The space will be filled with tables and unique seating.

The goal of the parklet is to create a ‘welcoming public space’ where people of all ages can come together.

If the project reaches its $50,000 goal by Jan. 25, 2025, the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority said it will match that, doubling the amount of funds for the project.

If you prefer to donate by cash or check, you can mail it to or drop it off at City of Charlestown, City Hall, 304 Main Cross Street, Charlestown IN 47111.
