It is located at 7840 W. 56th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana and covers approximately {{convert|1400|acre|km2}} of water and {{convert|3900|acre|km2}} of land. There are about {{convert|10|mi}} 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 by Josiah K. Lilly Jr. 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, 2014, and 2015 and the World Rowing Championships were held there in 1994. The 1987 Pan American Games used the park for rowing, canoeing and archery.[1] Park activities/buildings
