Guest Parking on Indiana State Government Campus

Guests visiting the Indiana Government Center campus for hearings, meetings, conferences, and other official state business with the Natural Resources Commission may park in the Washington Street Parking Garage, the Senate Avenue Parking Garage, or North Capitol Surface Parking Lot.  Location information for these parking areas may be found here.  Maps of the campus parking areas and  conference center are also available.

Guests are required to take a parking ticket from the entry terminals of the parking area upon arrival in order to gain access. Bring the parking ticket with you and you may present it to Commission staff for validation when you are ready to leave the government center campus.  Once validated, you will be able to exit the parking area free of charge by inserting your ticket into the exit terminal.

* Please note that ticket validation is not available on Mondays through Thursdays during which the Indiana General Assembly is in session. During the Legislative Session, the government parking areas reach capacity early in the day, so you may wish to find a parking facility located off the government campus. Indianapolis Parking Map
