What your membership means

The Foundation relies on membership dues as our main source of revenue to help fund improvements, trail restoration projects, and environmental education programs for one of the nation’s largest city-owned parks. Since 2001, the Foundation has invested nearly $3 million into Eagle Creek Park, which was made possible by membership support.

By showing support for the Eagle Creek Park Foundation, we’re happy to offer special perks and discounts to our members. These include:

  • Eagle Creek Park Gate pass with ECPF sticker
  • Member-only newsletter highlighting benefits and member-exclusive programs and events
  • For 2024: 4 pairs of Eclipse glasses for the April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse visible from Indianapolis
  • $10 off one rental or $25 off one pontoon rental at Eagle Creek Outfitters. Not valid on holidays, weekends, or with any other offer.
  • Tax deduction [valid for membership and any other contribution; excludes value of gate pass ($50/each)]

Here are just some of the projects our members have funded

  • New directional signage to replace 27-year-old signs throughout the park
