The park's playground, Taylor's Dream, was the first in the region specifically designed to accommodate children with disabilities.
The site was historically part of the extensive agricultural landholdings that once defined the northern outskirts of Fort Wayne.
It serves as a primary hub for the Fort Wayne Rivergreenway, connecting directly to the city’s extensive regional trail network.
The park provides direct access to the St. Joe River, one of the three rivers that converge in Fort Wayne.
Kreager Park is a 52-acre public recreation area located on the former site of a large-scale potato farm. It serves as a major trailhead and anchor for the Fort Wayne Rivergreenway, a linear park system spanning over 25 miles. The site features the Taylor’s Dream Boundless Playground, a nationally recognized inclusive play space designed for children of all physical and cognitive abilities. Recreational infrastructure includes tennis courts, softball diamonds, and dedicated soccer fields. The park also provides access to the St. Joe River for non-motorized watercraft. Native landscaping and open green spaces occupy much of the acreage formerly dedicated to agriculture.
