Eagle Creek Park
Eagle Creek Park is one of America’s largest city parks at 3,900 acres, and there’s a lot to do here. You won’t believe a park so large could be found in Indianapolis. Visit the Go Ape! Treetop Adventure and move through the canopy with the greatest of ease with the help of rope ladders, trapezes, swings, net bridges, and zip lines. The Eagle Creek Park Swimming Beach has lifeguards on duty, but if you’d rather play on the reservoir than in it, you can rent canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, and rowboats at the marina.
You can fish for crappie, walleye, bluegill, and largemouth bass at several favorite fishing spots, and numerous playgrounds offer plenty of opportunities for climbing, swinging, and running wild. Sixteen miles of trails lure nature-lovers through mature woods, open meadows, and past the reservoir and Lilly Lake, and shaded picnic spots dot the park in case you want to enjoy some takeout al fresco. Hanging out and having fun with your team while you’re traveling is a great way to bond. 7840 W 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46254
