Good news! The City of Fishers has broken ground on the new Fishers Community Center at Johnson Farm on Hoosier Road near 121st Street. The 105,000 square-foot recreation center will be a gathering space for residents, bringing the community together through health and wellness with amenities.
Fishers Community Center at Johnson Farm
Fishers Community Center at Johnson Farm will include:
- a large indoor playground
- indoor track
- dog park
- aquatics facility with a 2-story waterslide
- childcare facility
- a café operated by Sahm’s Hospitality Group
The center will also be the new home of the Fishers Health Department and Outside the Box’s adult day program to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The new community center was designed based on input from residents. In 2021, a steering committee chaired by Fishers City Councilor Todd Zimmerman was formed to identify and prioritize community needs and how they could be served by an indoor facility. Nearly 3,500 residents completed a survey to share the amenities they most desired in this facility. Top items like a dog park, indoor playground, track, and aquatics facility were included in the design.
