Little Eagle Creek Initiatives

Patricia Park Improvements

In Fall and Spring, committee members and neighbors have removed invasive species and debris at this Clarence Farrington School 61 – adjacent park along Falcon Creek, a tributary of Little Eagle Creek.

Neighborhood Outreach

The committee is developing materials and strategies to reach new neighbors, including Spanish translations of ROW information and inroads to small businesses in the International Marketplace.

International Marketplace Coalition Partnership

Partnering with International Marketplace Coalition, Little Eagle Creek hopes to explore with neighbors the cross-cultural implications of waterways and waterway connections.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Connection

This partnership is building to connect the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course, through which Little Eagle Creek flows, to local neighborhoods to collaborate on waterway solutions.
