Investing in a Healthier, More Connected Community
As part of the City of Fishers’ ongoing Culture of Health initiative, several new recreational amenities and enhancements have launched across the community.
These projects are designed to encourage residents to get active, explore nature, and connect with one another—all while promoting wellness and healthy living as part of everyday life.
New & Upcoming Amenities

The newly restored historic Bell Ford Bridge connects the Geist Greenway to Hamilton County’s Geist Park, creating a safe and scenic pedestrian crossing over Fall Creek and strengthening the city’s 5-mile trail network.
Nickel Plate Trail, Strengthened by IU Health
Fishers’ downtown portion of the trail continues to thrive as a community hub with additions like a dynamic mural in the 116th Street tunnel, new gathering spaces, and seasonal pop-up events—all designed to encourage walking, biking, and connection.
