You must be at least 12 years of age. Volunteers between the ages of 12 and 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times when volunteering at Eagle Creek Park.

There are three required application forms: an ECP registration form, an Indy Parks registration form, and a criminal background check consent form*. Applicants regardless of age or prior experience must submit all three forms.

These forms are available for download as Adobe Acrobat PDF files. Forms can also be picked up at the EDC Earth Discovery Center.. Please note that incomplete forms can not be processed.

Completed forms can either be dropped off at the EDC Earth Discovery Center (park map directions), or can be mailed to this address:

Eagle Creek Park Earth Discovery Center
5901 Delong Road
Indianapolis, IN 46254
Attention: Volunteer Registration Forms

After your forms have been processed, you will be contacted by the Volunteer Coordinator to start you on your way in the areas in which you are most interested.

*Question - Why must I fill out a Criminal Background Check consent form?
Answer - Eagle Creek Park is a City Park and this is a legal requirment to volunteer in an Indianapolis City Park.
