Eagle Highlands Park

* Excellent walking trails through the woods.
* Playground, including slide structure, swings. Picnic Shelter. (Inland Drive clearing)
The paths through the woods have little litter; seemingly have few mosquitoes in summer (at least at mid-day); are quite pretty; and have just enough slope to make them feel 3D rather than flat.
One entrance into the woods can be found near the sign on Eagle Creek Parkway. Another entrance can be found in the Inland Drive clearing, well to the east of the playground there.

This park has a kids playground, including a slide, swings, and stuff to climb. There's also a table with benches, grass, garbage can, another bench, and trees.

Sheltered gazebo-pavilion. Swings. Fields. Soccer goals. Portable toilet across from St. Anthony Church, which was getting filled with diapers and tissue at time of my visit.
Indianapolis Canal Walk

Beautiful, largely from the water in the canal, and also from the trees. Surprisingly quiet for downtown, probably due to being below street level.
You can find people of all ages during the day: walking alone or in groups; walking their dogs; jogging; riding bikes; etc. There are sites and restaurants at the lower canal level.
Here and there, there are ways to cross the canal from one side to the other, or to climb back up to street level; but you may have to look around, since they're not always obvious.

Highland Park

Several acres of *slightly* hilly terrain, mostly grass with some concrete walking paths. Also of note:
* 🏙️🌆 Nice view of the nearby downtown skyline
* Pavilion-gazebo
* Slides and swings
Very little litter here when I visited. 👍
