The Indy Greenways constitute the metropolitan recreational trail system which serves to connect Marion County and the metropolis of Indianapolis via walking, jogging and running paths. Maintained and operated conjointly by the Greenways Foundation and Indy Parks, the Indy Greenways represent some of the finest greenway systems in the world.
Indianapolis has nearly 40 miles of greenway trails meandering through historic sites, streams, old railway corridors and beautiful, mature green spaces. Along the way, visitors will find the Greenways Depot Library, a facility created for the express purpose of holding research materials relevant to greenways around the world.
