Beginning with the dedication of its namesake in 1947, the neighborhood surrounding Tepe Park reflects the cyclical patterns of many similar neighborhoods in Evansville, in Indiana, and nationally.  The area derived not only its name but much of its community identity from the park.  With each addition to the park, a new opportunity to illustrate the potential of the neighborhood was born.  Through many rounds of economic and social stress the community surrounding the park has rallied and fought back.  Today Tepe Park continues to add positive features to its identity with key champions advocating for revitalization and a new identity for Tepe Park, one built on its remarkable and resilient history.
