About Us
The Fishers Community Center was created by the community, for the community, with Fishers residents’ needs and well-being guiding every step of its creation, design, and construction.
In 2021, a steering committee led by Fishers City Councilor Todd Zimmerman set out to identify and prioritize the amenities that residents wanted most in an indoor facility. Nearly 3,500 residents participated in a survey, highlighting their top requests: a dog park, indoor playground, track, and aquatics facility. These features, reflecting the community’s vision, are central to the design of the new Fishers Community Center.
Spanning 105,000 square feet, this state-of-the-art facility embodies Fishers’ commitment to health, wellness, and inclusivity. Aligned with the city’s Culture of Health initiative, the center is more than just a recreational space—it’s a vibrant hub where residents of all ages can connect, stay active, and strengthen the bonds that make Fishers thrive.
Our Mission:
To provide a welcoming, inclusive environment that fosters health, community, and wellness by offering high-quality recreation and social activities.
Our Vision:
A vibrant, year-round destination where individuals and families of all ages can thrive-physically, socially, and emotionally. A place where everyone feels supported and inspired.
