New comment card invites public feedback on state parks

Indiana State Parks has created a new comment card that lets users share thoughts about service, hospitality and facilities.

State Parks staff know memories are made at properties in a number of ways – on hikes, around campfires, at family dinners, and through the DNR staff, from those you see and meet when you visit to those who work behind the scenes.

Because of this, the Indiana State Parks team has a renewed focus on service and hospitality using an internally developed program called “Service State Park Style” that focuses on hospitality as you camp, stay at an inn or spend a day outdoors in a state park.

“Service State Park Style is, for us, at the heart of providing memorable experiences for our guests,” said Karen Hinton, the deputy director of Indiana State Parks who has coordinated this initiative. “We want to hear how we are doing with welcoming you, looking for ways to assist you, giving you great ideas for enjoying our parks and then saying thank you for visiting with an invitation to come back again.”

New printed comment cards are available in park offices, nature centers and other public buildings to share your thoughts about state park service, hospitality and facilities. The comment card is now also available for easy completion online at stateparks.IN.gov.

Anyone who completes and submits a printed or online comment card along with contact information will be entered in a drawing for a 2021 annual pass later this year.
