As Fishers has grown, if you are looking for the geographic center of the city, you would find it right around 121st Street and Hoosier Road.  That is the site of the new Fishers Community Center, next to Hoosier Road Elementary School.

A community center for Fishers has been discussed for years, but through the efforts of Mayor Scott Fadness, City Councilor Todd Zimmerman and a number of others, this idea was brought to a reality when the ground-breaking ceremony was held Tuesday morning.

The facility will be a 105,000 square-foot structure, and is designed based on comments from over 3.500 residents in an online survey.  Included in the center will be a dog park, indoor playground, indoor walking/running track, and aquatics facility.

The Center will offer both memberships and day passes with discounts for Fishers residents, while featuring free amenities accessible to both residents and non-residents, including a large indoor playground, indoor track for walking and running, and a café operated by Sahm’s Hospitality Group. The Center will also be the new home of the Fishers Health Department, as well as Outside the Box’s adult day program to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  More details on membership fees will be released at a later time.

The site was once the Johnson Farm. and members of the family have been supportive of using this tract of land for the Community Center.  The ground-breaking ceremony also featured students from Hoosier Road Elementary School.
