The City of Fishers is gearing up for the public opening of its new, 105,000-square-foot Fishers Community Center, Strengthened by IU Health.
“The Fishers Community Center represents years of collaboration, planning, and listening to our residents,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “This facility is more than just a place for fitness; it’s a place where our community can come together to live healthier, connect with one another, and strengthen the fabric of our city.”

While the facility officially opens to the public on November 1, this week marks the beginning of an exclusive, early-access period for charter members who joined the center prior to September 15.
The facility located at 11400 Johnson Farm Way, near the intersection of Hoosier Road and 121st Street, was shaped by years of resident input and designed to serve as a hub for health, wellness, and community. Highlights include a 9,800 square foot aquatics center with Central Indiana’s first NinjaCross System, an 11,000 square-foot fitness center; a two-story indoor playground; indoor walking track; and future dog park.
The Fishers Health Department (FHD) marked its first day of clinic operations at its new headquarters and clinic with a ribbon cutting today. The FHD relocated to the community center from its former headquarters on Technology Drive. FHD is now accepting appointments for COVID, flu and travel vaccinations, testing, and other preventive care, with plans to offer expanded opportunities for health education and community events at the facility. For clinic hours, visit Health.FishersIN.gov. FHD’s vital records and permitting will remain at the City Services Building located at 3 Municipal Drive.
“The Fishers Health Department is excited to call the Fishers Community Center, Strengthened by IU Health, our new home,” said Fishers Health Department Director Monica Heltz. “The centralized location will offer our residents convenient access to many of our clinical and educational services, including vaccinations, testing, and other preventive care, along with education on topics such as healthy aging, suicide prevention, and much more. This move expands our ability to deliver the accessible health resources our residents deserve.”

The center also features Sahm’s Community Café, a new dining concept from Sahm’s Hospitality Group that is open to all regardless of membership.
“The original Sahm’s Restaurant opened in Fishers in 1986. Now, almost exactly 40 years later, we are excited to begin something new with the city again,” said Eddie Sahm, Vice President of Business Development at Sahm’s Hospitality Group. “With a focus on fresh, delicious food, we hope that we can add to an already amazing space. We have made a menu that can adapt to whatever the day has in store. Coffee or latte after a swim, grab and go after a workout, lunch or dinner while kids play, sandwich to take home after a basketball game. There are so many ways to enjoy the Fishers Community Center, and we hope to provide hospitality and food to add to every experience.”
