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!
