Overview

READI grant funds will be utilized for the engineering, design, and construction of White River Park which will create a unique opportunity for the Region with trail connectivity for Fishers, Indianapolis, and Carmel and help protect the natural resource of the White River. Design and Engineering for White River Park will start in the spring of 2023 with construction in the fall of 2023 and construction completed in December of 2024. White River Park will have significant impact to the region and Indiana’s quality of place and life by its unique features such as bikes and ropes course and a hammock grove making it a regional draw as these amenities are not found elsewhere in the area. The City of Fishers has committed to funding a new roundabout next to the park for better pedestrian and vehicle access that is part of the project. With the addition of a roundabout for this area along 96th Street and Allisonville and White River Park, private investment is expected to spur more development. White River Park will increase connectivity by paths and trails from neighboring areas and communities thus decreasing vehicular traffic, incentivizing recreation, and promoting cleaner air for the environment.
