Eagle Creek Park holds the distinction
of being the nation’s largest city park. This nature lover’s paradise
is comprised of 5000 acres and contains a bird sanctuary, miles
of hiking trails, and Eagle Creek Reservoir - Site of the World
Federation Rowing Championships in 1994. In the last decade, renovation
of the downtown area has produced the Conseco Fieldhouse (home of
the Indianapolis Pacers) and the RCA Dome (home of the Indianapolis
Colts). Union Station was reborn in 1986 and now houses a beautiful
banquet facility and an indoor state-of-the-art go-kart racing facility.
The Indianapolis Zoo has relocated and expanded in the White River
Park area, along with such attractions as the Eiteljorg Museum of
American Indian and Western Art and the White River Gardens botanical
exposition. Indianapolis is also home to the world’s largest
interactive children’s museum. The Circle Centre Mall provides
a vibrant downtown anchor for a number of major retailers, excellent
restaurants, theaters, clubs, offices and hotels in the downtown
area. Undoubtedly, the greatest resource of Indiana is its people.
For a large city, Indianapolis has the feel of a smaller and
openly friendly town, a feeling that it has developed from the
many surrounding
Hoosier communities, which have nurtured its growth.
