(Statewide) – Foster families across Indiana can now visit state parks for free through a new initiative from the Department of Natural Resources.
The program provides eligible families with a free annual entrance pass that grants access to all state park properties.
Officials say families must complete a short application form to receive the pass, which can then be submitted online.
A link to the form can be found at dnr.IN.gov/state-parks/rates-and-fees/entrance-fees at the bottom of the page.
Once it’s filled out, you can submit the form to PermitApplication@dnr.IN.gov.
“Indiana State Parks are a great place for families to make memories and come closer together,” said Brandt Baughman, director of Indiana State Parks. “We’re proud to offer free passes to foster families to help them come together and explore our state parks across Indiana.”
