~ Fishers, IN- The City of Fishers has officially opened its newest park, the Fishers White River Park, in a ceremony attended by city officials, Hamilton Southeastern Schools Superintendent Pat Mapes, and White River stakeholders. This 120-acre park is a reflection of the city's ongoing commitment to investing in parks, trails, and outdoor recreation infrastructure to provide residents with more opportunities to connect with nature and each other.

The park boasts 2.45 miles of trails, including two asphalt trails, a 0.67-mile crushed rock loop, and a 1.33-mile combination dirt-and-gravel trail. In addition to the trails, there are three scenic overlooks, creek and river access points, native plantings, and opportunities for paddling and exploration. One of the main features of the park is a dedicated kayak launch with a paved access path and nearby parking for easy river access.

One of the most exciting aspects of this new park is its direct connection to Fishers Heritage Park located just north of the property. Trail connections from the north end of Fishers White River Park lead into Heritage Park where visitors can cross the new Bur Oak Bridge over the White River and continue west into Carmel's Hazel Landing Park. This creates a seamless regional recreation link that allows visitors to explore multiple parks in one trip.

Aside from providing recreational opportunities and trail connectivity, Fishers White River Park also serves as an educational space for students. In partnership with Hamilton Southeastern Schools and Friends of the White River, Fishers Parks is piloting a hands-on study trip experience for sixth-grade students that brings classroom learning to life by exploring the river by float, learning about water ecology, and testing water quality.

Mayor Scott Fadness expressed his excitement about this new addition to Fishers' parks system saying "This investment reflects our long-term commitment to building a connected system of parks and trails across Fishers." He continued, "Fishers White River Park expands access to the White River and creates new opportunities for residents and students to explore, stay active, and connect with nature year-round. Today is the realization of a commitment we shared with the community to prioritize our natural environment."

The park was intentionally designed as a four-season destination to support the city's focus on community health and wellbeing. Its trail network, river views, and natural features provide year-round opportunities for families, trail users, and outdoor enthusiasts to stay active.

Jake Reardon McSoley, Fishers Recreation and Wellness Director, also spoke about the park's design saying "Fishers is a city that embraces the outdoors all year long. This park was intentionally designed to showcase the beauty of the White River in every season. Whether you're crossing the Bur Oak Bridge, exploring a trail, or enjoying the views, there's something for everyone here."

The development of Fishers White River Park was made possible through two major grant awards. The project received $4.7 million through Governor Eric Holcomb's Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative and an additional $1 million grant from the Office of Hamilton County Commissioners to support park and infrastructure development.

The opening of Fishers White River Park marks a significant step in the city's efforts to improve mobility, expand access to natural resources, and strengthen neighborhood connections on the west side of Fishers. Residents can learn more about this new park at FishersParks.com/FWRP.
