All of this happens under a bright assortment of lanterns. Ellenberger Park features a swimming pool, fields for baseball and football, tennis courts and a walking trail. Residents can't help but enjoy the beautiful oranges and yellows of the trees during autumn. The private Pleasant Run Golf Course sits south of the neighborhood. Since 1922, golfers have used this course to test their golfing skills. The course features 18 holes. The mature trees provides shading on the rolling greens.
For eating, there are a few notable staples. Since 1960, Indianapolis diner Steer-In has served home-cooked meals to Eastside residents. The Twin Steer Burger has been a long-running staple of the diner. It is made with two beef patties, cheese, their signature sauce, lettuce and pickle, all on a decker bun.
