Encyclopedia > Eagle Creek Park

Eagle Creek Park is one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. It is located at 7840 W. 56th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana and covers 1,300 acres (5 km²) of a reservoir and 3,900 acres (16 km²) of land. There are about ten miles (16 km) of paths within it. Eagle Creek Park serves primarily as a nature reserve. Before coming into the possession of Indianapolis, the land was owned by Purdue University, and a certain J. K. Lilly before that. The Eagle Creek Park Foundation serves to promote volunteerism and provide funding for the Park and its programs. The NCAA Rowing Championships were held in the Park in 2003.
