When land became available along the Geist Lake waterfront, the City of Fishers moved quickly to acquire the property.  After many months of obtaining permits and the required legal permissions, construction of Geist Waterfront Park began with the ground breaking ceremony Friday.

This construction is the first of many phases.  This phase will include a beach and dock access along with a playground, all set be completed in 2022.  This first phase of construction is estimated to cost $15 million.  The full completion of the park is projected to be finished by 2040.
