Meet the Superintendent

     Ever wonder what is going on at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, what is planned for the future, or what you can do to help the park? Here is a chance to talk to the park superintendent to get your questions answered or to voice your thoughts about this national park. Park superintendent Costa Dillon will hold the first of a series of informal public conversations on Saturday June 13, 2009 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore’s Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk. 

     Superintendent Dillon said he welcomes the opportunity to hear from the public. “One of the great things about national parks is that we are places for the public to use and enjoy,” said Dillon, we want to hear suggestions, ideas, and even complaints that will make the park a better place.”

     No reservations are required. Just show up.
