Harrison Thompson Park

Play & Sports Spaces

Set in Fishers, Harrison Thompson Park spans 8.6 acres of green community space where neighborhood recreation meets youth athletics. This park offers a mix of active play areas and quieter spaces for relaxation.

The park really shines as home base for Mudsock Youth Athletics, whose young athletes can be seen running across the well-kept soccer fields or sliding into home on the baseball diamonds. You'll also spot Indy Premier soccer teams practicing their skills, while weekend mornings often bring the cheerful chaos of little league baseball games.

Paths & Playgrounds

If you're looking to get some steps in, the park's perimeter trail offers a pleasant route for walking or jogging. It's not particularly wide, but it does the job nicely for those wanting to enjoy some fresh air and greenery.

Kids will make a beeline for the playground areas with their climbing structure, swings, and see-saw. The play equipment is great for toddlers and elementary-aged children, but parents of babies might find options limited. The mulch surface underneath adds an extra layer of safety for those inevitable tumbles.

Practical Perks

What makes this park work for longer visits are the thoughtful amenities. Electricity is available throughout, while vending machines and concession stands save the day during tournaments when hunger strikes.

Clean restrooms (two facilities in total) mean you won't have to cut your visit short, and the ample parking is a real blessing - especially on those busy game days when it seems like half the neighborhood has shown up.

Gathering Spots & Vibe

For family picnics or catch-ups with friends, head to the sheltered picnic area where tables await your spread of sandwiches and snacks.

Harrison Thompson Park doesn't try to be fancy - it's straightforward and functional in the best possible way. Its simplicity is actually refreshing, creating a family-friendly atmosphere that locals appreciate. Just note that during peak sports seasons, the park transforms into a hub of activity, so timing your visit (and parking strategy) accordingly might save you some stress.
