The Fishers SmartPass is an electronic access pass. The access pass currently provides access to Geist Waterfront Park for Fishers residents. The Fishers SmartPass capabilities will be expanded in the future for other community amenities.
Geist Waterfront Park is open from dawn to dusk daily with gated access at the entrance of the park. Park-goers will use their smartphone to scan at the gated entrance.
A gate attendant will be present during the beach season. A smartphone with your Fishers SmartPass, or QR code for day passes, is required to be scanned to allow access to the Park.
Yes, currently this is the only park location and/or amenity that requires the Fishers SmartPass to gain entry.

The Fishers SmartPass is free of charge.
Access to Geist Waterfront Park requires one Fishers SmartPass per vehicle. Each individual in your party is not required to have their own Fishers SmartPass. Members of the same family, older than 18, should create their own pass as the Fishers SmartPass and OpenPath Mobile Access app is only accessed on the phone you used to set up your account.
No. Much like a membership card for a gym or other membership-based organization, your Fishers SmartPass will be scanned via your smartphone and will not expire.
The City of Fishers will review accounts annually to determine if the account is inactive or active.

All such items must have prior approval and should be a part of your Special Event Permit request.
You may have a food truck at your event. The food truck must obtain a food truck permit with the City of Fishers Community Development Department. The only time a food truck would not require a permit is in the event of the food truck being use for catering purposes. For example, a business is having an employee appreciation day and is paying for all of the food for its employees where individual transactions do not take place between an employee and the food truck, no permit would be required.
This permit is issued through the State of Indiana Department of Homeland Security. Visit the State of Indiana Department of Homeland Security Website for more information.
If approved, Fishers may allow canopies and tents; however stakes are not allowed due to the multiple underground utilities. However, water barrels, bricks, and other forms of weight are permitted for use.
