Bench Dedication Program
Honor someone special with a permanent, dedicated bench at Eagle Creek Park.
The Eagle Creek Park Foundation’s Bench Dedication Program is a wonderful way to honor someone special AND contribute to the enhancement of Eagle Creek for generations to come. Your contribution will provide park visitors a place to rest and enjoy all that Eagle Creek Park has to offer.

Bench Dedication Program - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
All benches are made of a long-lasting recycled composite material and come with a custom name plate.
The total cost of a bench depends on the type of bench you prefer*. We have 2 options: flat/backless or backed. A flat/backless bench is $3,000 and a backed bench is $3,500. This includes the cost of the bench, labor and materials for installation, and a commemorative plaque.
*Disclaimer: some locations require a certain bench type – requirements are noted in each available spot’s ‘location details’ on the Bench Dedication Map above.*
All bench locations must be approved by IndyParks. Pre-approved locations can be found on the Bench Dedication Map above. Green icons indicate “available” locations. Yellow icons indicate “reserved” locations (the location has been requested but either payment or approval is still required). Red icons indicate benches which have already been sold (installation in the works). Blue icons indicate benches that have been installed (in progress). If you click or tap on the icons, we’ve included at least one photo to give you a better idea of what the location looks like. Once you’ve select a location you want, complete the application by clicking the button above
