Lauren Hill Memorial Park
Greendale, IN
Never Give Up
IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE VISION
In 2015 local resident Tom Beidenharn had a vision to support Lauren Hill and her fight for a cure by encouraging the development of a recreational park that would foster a stronger sense of community among the people of Greendale and surrounding communities.
By 2017, many like-minded people united to form Friends of Lauren Hill (FOLH), a local non-profit organization. Now, FOLH is raising funds to develop and maintain the park.
NEVER GIVE UP
Lauren Hill Memorial Park honors the legacy of Lauren Hill and her "Never Give Up" attitude.
Friends of Lauren Hill is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring Lauren Hill, her dogs, and her "never give up" philosophy. We are honored and excited to lead this effort to make the Lauren Hill Memorial Park come to life. The park will benefit all area dog owners, bike enthusiasts and citizens.
We opened the park on April 22, 2022. Every dollar raised will be used to develop the park and enhance the amenities of the park. In the future, with additional fundraising, we envision expanding the park to include basketballs courts and other recreational oriented amenities such as disc golf.

Donate to the Park
“Greendale is proud to support the Lauren Hill Memorial Park project. City Council has unanimously voted to donate land in a long term lease agreement to the Friends of Lauren Hill Organization. What a wonderful way to honor Lauren Hill and her legacy.
The park is a priority for our city. It is an outdoor destination where friends and neighbors can gather, interact and let their dogs run free. The introductory mountain bike trail will also provide recreational opportunities for youth and young adults. The city of Greendale wholeheartedly supports The Friends of Lauren Hill in their effort to raise the necessary funds to develop and maintain the park. We also look forward to helping them with the continued development of Lauren Hill Memorial Park in the future.”
