On Aug. 6, Mayor Scott Fadness will speak and conduct a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“The vision for the AgriPark is finally coming to life,” Fadness stated in a press release. “Connecting future generations to the roots of Fishers’ past through hands-on farming experience will not only remind us of our city’s history, but teach all residents the breadth of impact agriculture has on each of us. We look forward to sharing this exciting new park with our residents.”   

The 33-acre urban farm includes a tunnel-covered growing area and a 3-acre produce garden. There also is a 5-acre animal farm and a tree nursery with 200 trees. The trees will be used to replenish trees throughout Fishers’ parks, facilities and roadways. There also is a 5-acre open-play area and a trail. A corn maze, pumpkin patch and sunflower field will offered in the fall.

Face masks are required when guests can’t socially distance with those outside of their household while at the AgriPark.
