Indianapolis is a great place to live! City parks and greenways are a vital part of the Indianapolis experience. Over 10,500 acres of Indianapolis Parks and additional acres of Indianapolis Greenways offer a range of recreation opportunities.  For those who just want to enjoy the outdoors, whether it's hiking or birdwatching, Indy Parks has the resources for you!

LAND STEWARDSHIP
The Land Stewardship Section of Indy Parks coordinates activities that protect the natural assets of Indianapolis parks for people and wildlife.


ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Want to learn more about the outdoors?
