Growing up in the surrounding neighborhood, the nostalgia hits hard whenever I take my kids to play at this completely redesigned and beautiful playground.

If you’re looking for a park without a playground to explore this is a great option. The Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve is a wonderful space to hike and feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, right in the heart of Fishers. In addition, the city often hosts events here such as StoryWalks, and summer camps.

Brooks School Park

11780 Brooks School Road

This is a classic playground, and a family favorite here at our house. Brooks School Park has swings, multiple playground structures, musical features, a climbing rock, and so much more! They also have a great basketball court and installed a new shaded structure to provide some relief for parents on those hot summer days. A wonderful local donut and ice cream shop is within walking distance as an added bonus. You can’t leave without a treat from Ohana’s!

Flat Fork Creek Park

16141 E 101st Street Fortville 46060

Flat Fork Creek Park is a newer park in Fishers, but has quickly become a popular place to explore. Here you will find over 5 miles of trail, a fishing pond, biking trails, tree houses for your children to explore, and an impressive sledding hill that is a favorite amongst the locals during the winter months. This park is great because there is truly something special to do here year round.

Fishers Agripark

11171 Florida Road Fishers 46037

Fishers Agripark is the newest addition to the Fishers parks, and is a must do for your family. Farming and playtime have collided in this unique space, where you will find a real working farm, in addition to a small trail, mud kitchen, and Montessori style playground equipment. In addition, you can get up close and personal with the farm animals, as well as take home fresh produce seasonally, all free of charge. We at Indy With Kids did a trip out to the Fishers Agripark when it opened and it did not disappoint. The hours of operation here vary and it is seasonally available to use, so make sure to check for the most up to date information before you go!

Fishers Heritage Park at White River

Fishers Heritage Park is such a charming space, to unplug and reconnect with nature. It boasts scenic gardens, nature trails, as well as the Historic Ambassador House rich with history. In the winter you will find a huge sledding hill, arguably one of the best in the city!

Cyntheanne Park

12383 Cyntheanne Road Fortville 46040

Cyntheanne Park has something for everyone. It is home to five multi-use fields equipped with a variety of sports equipment, playgrounds, walking trails, a picnic shelter area, and even pickleball! Yes you heard me right, they have eight full-size pickleball courts available at no cost to the public. This would be a great park to check out for a unique experience.

Bee Camp Creek Trailhead

13870 Ambria Drive, Fishers

The Bee Camp Creek Trailhead has playground ideal for kids ages 5-12, but little kids will still have a great time with a little help! The playground is intimate and is often not very crowded. While there are benches, the playground is not shaded so be sure to bring water and sunscreen on hot days. There are also no restrooms or water fountains here. If you get tired of the playground, grab your creek stomping gear and head to the trails! There is a paved, stroller-friendly walking trail, and other wooded trails to explore.

Heritage Meadows Park Playground

11233 Fountainview Lane, Fishers

Locals might know this pocket playground as “Big Wheel Park,” called that for wheel-shaped track surrounding this park. This playground is perfect for the smaller kids. There is not a lot of equipment, but what is there is smart! Scan the QR codes to get a classic story read right on your smartphone. Heritage Meadows Park is also very close to Cheeney Creek Natural Area, a wildlife reserve in the heart of Fishers.

Olio Fields

14181 E 126th Street, Fishers

Olio Fields is adjacent to Hamilton Southeastern High School and is also known as a sports complex in Fishers. While softball and baseball are the focus of this park, the playground is still awesome. The playground has a multi-tiered structure for all age and skill levels, but my kids love the twisty slide. There is plenty of benches to watch the kids play, or just look at the beautifully maintained ornamental grasses and landscaping. Amazing! If you forget snacks, the playground is close to the concession building, which also include restrooms.

No matter the season or the reason, Fishers playgrounds and have parks have so much to offer. Spend a few hours or a whole day and use #PLAYIndy on social media so we can follow along!

While parks and playgrounds are typically available year-round, the bathrooms may be closed for winterization.
