The park reflects the life and beauty that Mrs. Bolton often spoke of in her poetry. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Located at 1300 Churchman Avenue, Sarah T. Bolton is a nearly 32-acre park facility that can be accessed from the intersection of 13th and Churchman Avenues, from 17th Avenue, and from Main Street at 15th Avenue. In 2010 the vehicular bridge was replaced with a two lane bridge and allows patrons to once again drive through and access all areas of the park. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Park features include picnic areas, rolling topography, a creek that winds through the property, athletic courts and fields, a Skate Park area, a one-acre Dog Park, Natural Area, and play equipment with nearby shelters and restroom facilities. Sarah T. Bolton is the most used and could best be described as Beech Grove's most traditional park.
