Fishers AgriPark

One of Fishers 25 parks, Fishers AgriPark is an urban farm where U-pick in the gardens, fields and greenhouses seasonal vegetables, fruits and herbs. They also have farm animals like a horse, long horn steer, chicken/rooster, goats, sheep and a pot belly pig named Otis!This was my first time here and is basically a free farmers market. You just have to pick your stuff. Depending what is in season, you are allotted so much per household per day but can go back each day if you like.Not sure if I know another city with a park like this. NOTE: Plenty of free parking. Portable potties are on site and NO dogs allowed unless service animals. Located at 113th St and Florida Rd.

This is a great local attraction for younger children. I took my 3 year old granddaughter there today (her daycare was closed for the Jewish holiday). We arrived right after 10 am when they opened. We could hear a school group in the Barn, where there was a presentation going on. The little playground is really great for preschoolers. They have a sensory garden, with a wall of pots and pans for banging. There is a mud kitchen, with buckets of water and several kitchen stations (too chilly for that today). The highlight in the playground was the tractor tire tower. We walked down the woodsy path to the pasture and met the animals, and then we walked through the corn maze. The U-pick activities are finished for this year, but they will have a fall festival (register in advance) in about two weeks.

This place is so much fun! I'd had it on my hit list since it opened so when we had a few errands to run in Fishers over the weekend, I looped this into our itinerary. Note that it's on the far reach of Fishers but that's probably what you're working with when you need 30+ acres of space ;)What to expect?-plentiful parking and signage that tells you what u-pick vegetables are available that day-a tractor tire children's playscape-picnic benches if you want to make an afternoon of it or bring snacks-rows filled with everything from strawberries and kohlrabi to sweet corn and sunflowers (I was especially eyeing their hearty green tomatoes)-friendly staff at the entrance (free entry, by the way)-a horse, cow, goat and lamb for animal interactions-plentiful trails/space to get in some steps while exploring-Note that they do not allow dogsSo impressed that this is a part of the Fishers public park system and can't wait to visit again soon.

Fishers AgriPark is a 33-acre urban farm that is open to the public, and is a space to educate and inspire people to learn more about where their food comes from. Here, you can meet farm animals (baby cows, horses, goats and chickens!), play on a farm-themed play structure, walk through corn fields, gaze upon acres of crops, and get free produce occasionally. This is a really neat public farm that was truly built for everyone. As of this writing, the park has just opened and the events they have planned are just getting started. But they are planning on including seasonal experiences on the farm, like corn mazes and pumpkin picking and other things.

Had an enjoyable evening visiting the Fishers AgriPark on a preview night. I believe the park is now open to the public. While Fishers has grown quite a bit in the last few years, it is nice that the city created the AgriPark to acknowledge its agricultural past.The Fishers AgriPark has a number of different components on its grounds. As soon as you walk in, you will see rows of crops to your left. The crops may consist of anything from green beans, cabbage, broccoli/cauliflower, and kale. Tomatoes and squashes are also in abundance. As you walk further you will notice a "high tunnel" that is sort of like a half greenhouse. This area provides a partially enclosed space to extend the growing season. The next stop is Animal Encounter, where you will meet Spirit the horse, the calves, and several sheeps. As you continue on, you will come across the sunflower field, pumpkin patch, and corn field. A corn maze will probably be built in the future just in time for the fall season. There is also a tree nursery at the edge of the property but I don't think that area is fully developed yet.As you circle back to the entrance, you can stop by the barn and the playspace that are ideal for human activities. There is also a nature trail past the flower field and garden, but I didn't have a chance to explore it. Perhaps that can be done in a future visit.The Fishers AgriPark is a great addition to the community. Not only can you explore the grounds and learn about farming, the crops and produce are also donated to local organizations. Community members can also pick up produce during giveaways.

If you are looking for something "different" and "outside the normal" place to go then you should definitely check this out! My kids always want to go to a playground park but once they experienced the Agripark they LOVED it and can't wait to go back. We checked out the tire playground and then walked a small trail to get to the pasture to see the farm animals. As soon as the sheep saw us she came right up to the fence and wanted the kids to pet her. It was the sweetest thing! They also got to see the horse and the pig up close! Tomatoes, sweet corn and sunflowers were available for U-pick. They were all free! The kids really enjoyed trying to find the good ones and picking them! Overall, this is probably our favorite place to go now for an adventure! We will definitely be back!

We LOVE the AgriPark! It has been such a wonderful addition to the community. They host amazing family friendly events that are typically free. Patience is often needed as free events can be very busy. Their u-pick farm is fantastic! Our family has enjoyed visiting and picking multiple times this summer. There is ample parking. Restrooms are port-a-johns so plan accordingly. There are great play areas for children and walking paths as well.

Love this place. A beautiful way to bring both access and education to fresh food and farming practices. A lovely place for children! Lots of programming and activities, as well as free play!

I went to the Fisher's AgriPark with my son (2) and daughter (10 months). We had a great time. It was a great outside experience with my babies. They were able to play with water in the outside mud kitchens, play in sand on the tires, pick tomatoes from the farm, and see a horse and cow. They were also able to play with fresh wheat and corn on the sensory tables. The staff there was very nice and made it comfortable for us while being there. It was a great experience and we are definitely going back.

What a great experience for children who love the outdoors. Would highly recommend you check this out.
