Redbird State Recreation Area (SRA) will dedicate its newly constructed property office and entrance gate on June 3 at 11 a.m.
The dedication of the facility will include comments from DNR Director Dan Bortner and Tim Garrett, a member of the Indiana Trails Advisory Board.
Following the ceremony, property staff and members of the Indiana Four-Wheel Drive Association will provide short off-road vehicle rides. Refreshments will also be available.
The new facility, funded with a federal grant from the Recreational Trails Program and the State Off-Road Vehicle Program, combines staff offices, a lobby for exhibits, public restrooms, and an entrance gate. The property offices at Redbird and Interlake SRAs were both designed by Hafer.
"This facility combines several services into one location for an efficient use of staffing and space," said Indiana State Parks Director Terry Coleman. "We look forward to making access to Redbird easier for our guests, and to the future use and development of this site."
Redbird SRA was Indiana's first publicly owned property that allowed off-road vehicle recreation. It has grown from an initial 200 acres to its current 1,450, with 700 acres open for off-road vehicle recreation. Other recreational opportunities include hiking, mountain biking, fishing, wildlife viewing, and picnicking.
The new office at Redbird SRA (https://on.in.gov/redbird) is at 15470 W County Road 350 N, Dugger.
