Wow! Congratulations Phyllis!
We’re excited to welcome the new Executive Director of Indy Parks: Phyllis Boyd!
Phyllis comes to Indy Parks from her role as executive director of Groundwork Indy, a non-profit organization that employs youth to work on community-based projects that equitably enhance environmental, economic, and social well-being. Before joining Groundwork Indy, she practiced landscape architecture and urban planning in the for-profit sector, where her work focused on sustainable design and planning and supporting the efforts of diverse communities to transform their built environments into meaningful, relevant, and life-enhancing places.
Phyllis holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Indiana University in Bloomington and is a two-time alumna of The University of Texas at Austin where she received her Masters of Arts in Botany in 1997 and her Masters of Landscape Architecture in 2006. Most recently, Phyllis worked with Indy Parks on design and community outreach plans for the Riverside Park Adventure Park, a comprehensive redevelopment initiative to create a multi-use adventure park for neighbors, children and their families. And, she previously worked with Indy Parks on community outreach plans on park and trail enhancements.
We are excited to have her on the team!
