Yes. Your Foundation pass is literally an Indy Parks pass. The Foundation buys passes from Indy Parks and resells them to the public to raise funds for Eagle Creekl Park.

With that said, Eagle Creek Park is the only park with a gate fee, so it is not needed at any other park.

If you already have an Eagle Creek Park Pass (though Indy Parks), you can access Eagle Creek Park from Jan 1 – Dec 31st for the year you purchased the pass.

Holders of Indy Parks passes should  Consider purchasing a Foundation Membership. Your $35 Membership dues support the park and you gain access to discounts, member newsletters and member events.

No. Eagle Creek Park is a city park operated by the city of Indianapolis’s parks department (Indy Parks). So if you want to visit state parks that require a gate fee, this pass will not grant access. 

Foundation membership is ideal for folks who 

1. Already have an Indy Parks pass, but would like , especially those who obtained their pass using a Verteran’s discount, senior discount

2. Want to support Eagle Creek Park directly but may not visit the park enough to purchase a pass

3. Want to enjoy the perks of Foundation membership (events, newsletters, discounts).

Yes. The Park’s gate staff will scan your pass each time you enter the Park. Per Indy Parks policy the gate staff will not look you up in the system to check for your pass.

Whether you’ve lost an Indy Park Pass or a Foundation pass, the Park can replace it at no cost to you. Your lost card will be marked as “lost” in the system and will no longer grant access to the park if you happen to find it. 

To get a replacement card, let the gate staff or Foundation Staff (ecpf@eaglecreekpark.org) know you need a replacement pass.
