Greenfield is all about old world charm packaged in a modern day city. The old and the new, the traditional and the modern juxtapose in a lively harmony that attracts visitors like a moth to a flame and makes the resident stick to their roots. Greenfield is the County seat of Hancock County, and is home to 15,000 residents, and if the greater Greenfield area is taken into account, almost 35,000 residents live here. Booming economy, excellent education system, a history dotted culture, periodical fairs, parades and festivals, and a thriving downtown characterize the Greenfield city.
The state of Indiana has its history rooted in agriculture. It’s no wonder then that all the counties abound in parks that are lush and green providing hours of fun filled escape for its residents. The Riley Park in Greenfield is 7,200 square feet of green landscape, with two basketball courts, six tennis courts, five baseball fields, a sledding hill, a fishing creek for visitors to drop a line or two. With such abundant varieties in just one park, boredom is a word not found in their dictionary. Add to it the Riley Pool, and the fenced Skatepark that offers state-of-the-art skateboarding ramps and obstacles, the Riley Park is a destination for the old the young alike.
The 15-minute drive to Indianapolis makes possible many one-day trips to the neighboring cities.

Whether meeting friends over a pint of beer, or discussing the economic stability of the city in a downtown office; whether shopping for stationery or the exquisite; whether out on a stroll on an educational trip, Greenfield satisfies all kinds of people.
