ADMISSION
EXPLORE EAGLE CREEK PARK
Eagle Creek Park is one of the nation’s top 10 largest municipal parks, but Indianapolis’ only park that is mandated to be self-sufficient.
Eagle Creek Park Foundation works in partnership with Indy Parks and other key stakeholders to promote, preserve, protect and enhance this remarkable natural resource.
Eagle Creek Park Foundation members and the general public provide support for the park through fundraising, volunteering, and other efforts. We could really use your help!

Heads up! Due to supply chain delays beyond our control, Foundation Passes are taking a little longer to process this year. However, we are processing all passes as quickly as possible. For the fastest option, we encourage you to select local pick-up at checkout. You can also visit the Park Office to purchase your pass in person and take it home immediately.
We’ll notify you when your pass is ready for pick-up or has been shipped. Thank you for your patience and support—we’re excited for you to enjoy new adventures in 2025!
