The Eagle Creek neighborhood is unique in Indianapolis due to its proximity to global food offerings, cultural spaces, and famous sports facilities. But what makes it exceptional is its namesake—Eagle Creek Park and Eagle Creek Reservoir. The park is approximately 1,400 acres, making it one of the largest urban parks in the United States. The park serves as a nature preserve, and offers many amenities, including: 10 miles of walking paths and bike trails; boat ramps; a sailboat marina and rentals; fishing areas; and a golf course. It also includes organizations such as the Peace Learning Center, Ornithology Center, and Indianapolis Rowing Center. 

To the east of the Eagle Creek area is the International Marketplace neighborhood, a stretch of 38th Street that is home to 120 ethnic restaurants and grocery stores within 4 square miles. To the southeast is the town of Speedway, Indiana, a community with unique charm steeped in the tradition of Race Day and the Indianapolis 500—and beyond.

The Eagle Creek neighborhood encompasses all of Eagle Creek Park. It stretches from Raceway Road to the west and I 465 and 65 to its east. The southernmost border is I 74 and its northern border is near Traders Point and 86th Street.
