Riverside Adventure Park — Attraction in Indianapolis

(1) Nature Zone towards park's NE. This has a playground, a few exercise machines, a large pavilion shelter, a building with restrooms and offices, and lots of parking. An archery range is coming soon. (2) Most of this big park is currently walking trails, amid lightly wooded grass. The multiple trails are over four miles in length when combined. (3) Soap Box Derby course. This strip is in the park's south, alongside 30th St. (4) River Pavilion, with a large shelter and lots of parking. (5) Fitness Zone. SW, near Marian University.

On top of that, they have this race track thing that is really fun to ride...
