The City of Fishers is proposing to reduce the parking fee charged nonresidents at Geist Waterfront Park by half during the summer months of 2024.

In 2023, those not living in the City of Fishers were charged a $50 per day parking fee to visit Geist Waterfront park from May through October.  The Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety is scheduled to vote Tuesday morning on a proposal to reduce the nonresident parking fee to $25 per day.  The measure before the board says the day, and times of day, the fee will be charged nonresidents is to be determined by the Director of Recreation and Wellness, based on demand.

Fishers took a public relations beating last year when the city announced the $50 parking fee for those not residing in the city.  The city said the fee was an effort to ensure city residents would have access to Geist Waterfront Park.

The Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety consists of Mayor Scott Fadness and his two appointees, Jason Meyer and Jeff Lantz.
