Finding great ways to spend the day in Indianapolis is hardly ever a problem. The city is filled with fun things to do! But just in case you need some help, here’s an idea for a great way to spend the day in Indianapolis!

7351 Kinglet Court Indianapolis IN 46254 Spend some quality time here…. In your gorgeous and AFFORDABLE Indianapolis home with large rooms, flexible loft space, and a to-die-for screened porch and multi-tier deck! FYI: Indianapolis once again ranked No. 1 on CNN Money’s 2011 list of Most Affordable Cities to Buy a Home! Take a virtual tour.

Eagle Creek Park Lakeside Trail Then, take a short trip here (1.4 miles, to be exact)…. To Eagle Creek Park, where you can enjoy a day of sailing, hiking or bird watching. Eagle Creek Park and Reservoir is just 10 miles from downtown Indianapolis and features a 1400-acre reservoir and 3900 acres of parkland that includes picnic areas, nature centers, cross country ski paths, and fitness trails. Feeling brave? Or just crazy? Take part in the Eagle Creek Park Polar Bear Plunge this Saturday, Feb. 26. Proceeds benefit the Special Olympics of Indiana! Polar Bear Plunge information.

Rick's Cafe Boatyard Indianapolis IN And end your day here…. With a delicious meal overlooking the reservoir at Rick’s Café Boatyard. Rick’s serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with indoor and outdoor (seasonally, of course!) seating that features panoramic water views.

Great ways to spend the day in Indianapolis? That’s easy!

How pretty! I want a screened in porch! Our summer is short but the mosquitos are big so that would be a selling plus here too!

Brenda--My mother always wanted a screened in porch and I have too---I should make that a real goal so that maybe someone in the family will finally have one!!

Pat,

Really good community post.... has all the right information, pictures, map and links to activities in this community! It makes a great connection to the home that's for sale. I really like how you did this.... with your permission I would love to use this format when we advertise a home that we stage! Thank you for sharing this.

Feb 22, 2011 02:24 PM

Linda--Thanks for the compliments---you always have such nice things to say---could you please call me every morning? I think you would get my days off to a very good start. :-)

Absolutely! Please copy the format. I know Bob Stewart with AR likes the components in localism posts to be very similar to this. We try to do as we are told!!!

Pat, it sounds like a great day - well all but the polar bear swim. That would be great to watch, though.

So, let me add, ending the day for Kahlua and coffee on that beautiful deck in front of a fireplace - and maybe some s'mores!!!

Hi Pat,

What a beautiful post (& you've given me some ideas on this one, thx) looks like you've covered it all...affordable housing and beyond.

Btw, I'm up for almost anything, yet not the Eagle Polar Bear Plunge! If you're there, I'd love to see photos!

Feb 22, 2011 04:18 PM

Juli--See? You finally admit that the cold weather can be fun! Smores and a fire-------and Kahlua and coffee--much more fun in cold temperatures!

Lynda--You and Juli are just plain chicken! Though I will admit, that I will not be participating in the Eagle Polar Bear Plunge! And if I were, there would not be any pictures. :-)

Eagle Creek Park and Reservoir is where we will spend our day. I assume we can bring Buster on a leash, take a nice walk, have a picnic and breath in the wonderful fresh air...sounds nice.
