Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
Let’s be real about something for a moment here: life with kids isn’t always perfectly simple. We’ve got to find ways to keep the little dudes entertained… or else (you know the drill). Well, what better way to please the whole family than by visiting one of the best parks in Indiana? This particular park is located in Indianapolis and is easily a contender for the best park in Indiana for kids and adults alike! Bring the kiddos and make a day out of it: let’s check out the Indianapolis Colts Canal Playspace.
Now, I'm not sure about you, but if I were a kid, this would be the ultimate in awesomeness.
There's so much more than just a modern, soft-floor playground (though the playground IS really awesome and has numerous highlights including lots of climbing space and saucer-swings)... it's a whole experience!

Situated right along the water, the Colts Canal Playspace has a front-row seat to all the other delights there are to indulge in.
You'll often spot folks up on the bridge simply observing the rest of the park; again, not sure about you, but for me, people-watching is endlessly fascinating (and what a great place to do it).
You'll also find that every time you approach the water, a group of ducks will soon approach, hoping for something tasty.
You are permitted to feed them, but please keep in mind that they should not be given bread. Instead, opt for cracked corn, oats, birdseed, grapes, earthworms, mealworms, and veggies. Keep them healthy and happy, please!
Overall, the Colts Canal Playspace is an amazing park that's perfect for everyone in the family.
There really is a little somethin' for everyone, and I suspect it might just become your family's new favorite place.
