How do you describe the Cultural Trail in one word?

We asked our supporters, and their answers tell a story. A place that's inspiring, vibrant, welcoming, connected, and uniquely Indianapolis.

From up here, it looks like a ribbon winding through the city. Down on the ground, it's morning walks, bike rides to dinner, chance encounters, community gatherings, and moments of quiet in the middle of a busy day.

Every day, thousands of residents and visitors make the Cultural Trail part of their story. What word would you use? Let us know in the comments ⬇️

Twenty years ago, the Cultural Trail was a bold, nearly impossible idea, that would not have been possible with out the support from the City of Indianapolis to give a lane of traffic back to pedestrians.

Today, the neighborhoods surrounding the Trail continue to grow, businesses continue to invest, and more people are choosing to live, work, and spend time downtown.

As the nonprofit steward of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, we are honored to steward a beloved public space that continues to create value for Indianapolis every day.
