The Early History of Eagle Creek Park - Indianapolis
In 2009, Indianapolis-based environmental advocacy group Riverviews—Arts for the Environment made a grassroots-inspired video entitled The Early History of Eagle Creek Park – Living the Vision. It features a 2009 interview with F. Ross Vogelgesang, the lead planner/landscape architect on the project. He describes the early thinking about how the park was planned in consultation with the Pike Township citizens advisory committee and how it would be acquired and developed.
Mr. Vogelgesang, 103, formerly of Indianapolis, IN, passed away in Boca Raton, FL on June 20, 2026. I, and I'm sure other citizens, will always be grateful to Mr. Vogelgesang for his work in establishing our wonderful Eagle Creek Park.
