WORKING WITH US
Available spots can be found on the ‘Bench Dedication Map’, below. If your preferred location is not available or not listed, we still may be able to accommodate your request but will need additional approval from IndyParks, which could take additional time.
The map below shows locations of benches throughout the park (updated May 2024).
Select a marker to view additional location details (i.e. site description, GPS coordinates, images, bench requirements).
If you have questions/concerns about the availability of a specific location, email ecpf@eaglecreekpark.org.
Disclaimer: Our Bench Dedication Program relies on coordinating with IndyPark’s staff and their availability to assist between park projects. Please expect timelines between form submission and bench installation to vary seasonally.

BENCH DEDICATION PROGRAM FAQ
Frequently asked questions for the Eagle Creek Park Foundation Bench Dedication Program.
What are the benches made of?
All benches are made of a long-lasting recycled composite material and come with a custom name plate.
How much does a bench cost?
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.*
How do I choose a location for my bench?
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
What happens after I submit my bench request?
Someone on our team will reach out to you and walk you through the rest of the process!
Does ECPF have other dedication programs (e.g. trees, bricks, etc)?
At this time, we do not have any other dedication programs. We are continually working with the community and IndyParks.
However, if you would like to donate ‘in memoriam/in honor’ of a loved one who had a special connection to Eagle Creek, you can do so by visiting our online shop (click the button at the top of this page) or visiting our office at the Park or get your donation started by emailing customerservice@eaglecreekpark.org or calling 317.327.7116.
