Brookview/Irvington Park is a neighborhood north of downtown Fort Wayne.

Brookview was developed as one of the first "garden city" planned suburbs in Fort Wayne, designed by architect Arthur Shurcliff between 1914 and 1917. The neighborhood is unique in that the design follows the natural ravine created by Spy Run Creek.

In 2011, the neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood has been threatened with flooding for decades and is most recently under threat by plans to straighten the State Boulevard "curve" that was intentionally designed to slow traffic and continue the naturalistic theme of the neighborhood.

Irvington Park is located just north of Brookview, sandwiched between Vesey Park and Lima Road.
