Parking at Geist Waterfront Park will be free to residents, but based on action by the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety Tuesday, nonresidents will pay a $50 fee per day to park.  Nonresidents may access the park free as pedestrians or bike riders.

Fishers residents will use the OpenPath cell phone app to access the parking lot for free.  If you are not a cell phone person, the city will provide a card for access.  There will be 240 parking spots available at the park.

The soft opening for Geist Waterfront Park happened April 22nd.  The swimming season at the beach is set to start May 27, Memorial Day weekend.

Mayor Scott Fadness was concerned about plans to end beach activity after Labor Day, September 4.  This fee structure must go before the City Council for approval and the mayor wants flexibility to continue beach activity & swimming for good weather weekends in September.  The recommended ordinance language is expected to contain such a provision.

Juggernaut Brewing Company, the owner of Room Service on Wheels, will have a concession vendor contract with the city at Geist Waterfront Park.  There will be no beer available at the park, except for occasional special events.

317 Outfitters will provide  kayak and stand up paddle board rentals at the park.
