Get out #AroundFishers with these 5 Cool Places for Summer! Fishers has so many opportunities for fun on hot days. With activities available for the whole family, grab some sunscreen and seize your summer!
Creek Stomping – Flat Fork Creek Park
One great educational activity for kids of all ages is “creek stomping” which is exactly what it sounds like! Kids of all ages can wander through Flat Fork Creek, free to splash and stomp through the water. There are so many opportunities for discovery – including plants, creatures or stones. If going creek stomping, make sure to bring your water shoes and a taste for adventure. For a map of the park, be sure to check FishersParks.com/FlatFork.
Kayaking Along the White River or at Geist Waterfront Park
If you’re looking to get out on the water, try kayaking along the White River or at Geist Waterfront Park. Kayaks are available at both locations for rent. White River does half-day or whole-day rentals, while Geist Waterfront Park allows rentals by the hour. Whether you’re a kayaking expert or a first-timer, this is a great activity for the whole family! Visit whiterivercanoe.com for more details.
Geist Waterfront Park Beach
Pack your towels and snacks for a family beach day! Geist Waterfront Park Beach offers a beach experience, right here in Fishers. Families with kids of all ages can play on the playground, enjoy the volleyball nets, go for a swim in Geist or lay in the sand. Geist Waterfront Park Beach is fully staffed with lifeguards for a fun and safe experience.
Park access is open to all during non-peak hours. During peak hours (generally Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons), admission is free for Fishers residents and $25 per vehicle for non-residents. It’s now easier than ever for residents to access the park – just show your government-issued ID at the entrance, no Smart Pass needed! Geist Waterfront Park is open daily dawn to dusk and a lifeguard is on duty 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. during swim season. Swim season runs now through September 2.

Geist Reservoir
In the summer months, Geist Reservoir is a must-visit. The 1,900-acre reservoir meets everyone’s needs. Go for a swim, rent a boat or jet-ski, and enjoy the gorgeous views. If looking to grab a bite on the reservoir, check out Wolfies, Eddies, Puccini’s Pizza, or Crave Ice Cream! These restaurants by the water are a great way to enjoy Geist. Grab your swimsuit, because summer fun awaits at Geist Reservoir!
Splash pads
On an especially hot day, splash pads are a great opportunity for kids to cool off. Splash and play with pads available at Billericay Park, Holland Park, and Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. Learn more about Splash Pads #AroundFishers at https://playfishers.com/367/Water-Amenities.
