Origin Park is an evolving new urban riverfront park of over 400 acres located on the north shore of the Ohio River, in Clarksville, Indiana. The park celebrates the history and embraces the unpredictable Ohio River and the floods that come from it.

While a park that is open with limited designation areas to the public, it has already caught the attention of national media being recognized as the #4 Best City Parks by USA Today! The designation comes from a recognition of the bold plans and vision that are taking shape in a place that was once forgotten and filled with landfills and junkyards.

Origin Park's vision is to transform a landscape once characterized by industrial neglect into a premier nature destination that connects the communities of Clarksville, New Albany, and Jeffersonville, Indiana, with the Louisville Metro area. By prioritizing the restoration, the park aims to heal a disturbed environment while offering year-round recreational opportunities such as walking, biking, and paddling.

Integrating the wild beauty of the Ohio River with accessible public spaces, the park aims to foster regional economic benefits and a higher quality of life for over one million nearby residents.

Current projects in place include:

• The Vista at Origin Park – Opening Maay 16^th, 2026.

• Buttonbush Woods – 103 acres of wetlands, trails and home of Mill Creek.

• Wildwater – An adventure, Olympic Trial whitewater center that has already gone through initial design and is quickly moving into funding phase.
