The beach and swimming area at Geist Waterfront Park will open for the season Thursday, June 4, following a delay caused by conditions at Geist Reservoir.

The swimming season was originally scheduled to begin May 23, but Fishers Parks postponed the opening because of cooler water temperatures, high rainfall, elevated water levels and an unfavorable weather forecast.

Fishers Parks is advising visitors to continue monitoring its social media channels for the latest announcements regarding beach and swimming conditions.

Geist Waterfront Park is a 70-acre public park on the east side of Fishers along Geist Reservoir. The park, which opened in 2023, includes a beach, swimming area, walking trails, a pirate-themed playground and public gathering spaces, including shelters available for rent.

The park also provides water access through a non-motorized boat launch and dock for kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

The park is free for all visitors outside of peak hours. Peak hours are 1 to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and all day on July 4th and Labor Day. During peak hours, non-Fishers residents will pay $25 per car. No reservations required.
• Cashless facility. Card and mobile payment accepted.
• No smoking, vaping, or alcoholic beverages permitted on property.

Located at 10811 Olio Road, near 111th Street, Geist Waterfront Park is the only public parcel on the 1,900-acre Geist Reservoir.
