What’s the next big thing for Fishers’ parks? If a group of Mayor’s Youth Academy students has their way, it's a zipline.

Proposed as a White River Park attraction (new park coming to Fishers), it would give teens and the younger generation a new way to get outside and connect. They also did their homework, laying out two paths forward:

City Council members seemed to love the idea, so maybe we’ll have a zipline one day thanks to these students’ efforts. Watch their presentation here.

Imagine nearly an acre of private, tree-lined property giving both “private retreat” and “minutes-to-everything” vibes. That’s 10602 Fall Road.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a dramatic two-story family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that commands attention. With a huge primary suite and a fully finished basement, there's a dedicated space for every part of your life—from quiet mornings to lively family gatherings.

A home with this much land, a prime location, and a move-in-ready finish is a rare find.

A 21-home subdivision from Pulte Homes is officially moving forward on Cumberland Road. The project, which came from the Plan Commission with a "no recommendation," prompted discussion on a few key aspects of the plan.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the points that were discussed:

The proposal was ultimately approved on a 6-2 vote.

If you live near King Jugg or the Alhuda Mosque Temple, you know the parking headaches can be real. Fishers took the first step toward creating a residential parking permit system for those areas. The goal is to stop event-goers and visitors from flooding neighborhood streets. No final decisions yet, but it's the start of a process to bring some relief.

A California-based life sciences company, 1Elevan, is relocating its headquarters to Fishers! They're moving into a vacant building on Exit 5 Parkway and plan to create 120 new jobs with an average salary of around $90k 💵 It's another big win for the city's growing biotech scene.

A 155-year-old marvel makes its big comeback this week, and you’re invited to the ribbon cutting. The Bell Ford Bridge officially opens this Thursday at 10 am at Geist Park (10179 Florida Rd).

This is the only Combination Post Truss bridge left on Earth, clocking in at ~160 ft long. It’s also the finishing touch to the Geist Greenway, which connects 96th → 131st St through a pedestrian trail.

Looking back 👉 Videos and photos of the bridge being moved into place last September show how much progress and work it took to restore this thing.
