The park opened in 2010, showing large site-specific installation art works by Alfredo Jaar, Andrea Zittel, Atelier Van Lieshout, Kendall Buster, Jeppe Hein, Los Carpinteros, Tea Mäkipää, and Type A. Also included is the Ruth Lilly Visitors Pavilion. The park was curated by the Indianapolis Museum of Art's contemporary art curator, Lisa Freiman.
Type A is an art duo based out of New York City. Their installation for the park is, Team Building (Align), which consists of two large suspended metal rings that act as a calendar. Type A worked with IMA staff to help choose and design this work.
