BUCKETS AT BROOKS SCHOOL

 

Gary Harris, a Fishers native and professional basketball player for the Orlando Magic, has partnered with Koda Witsken, an artist who is also a Fishers native, to install two basketball court murals at Brooks School Park (11565 Brooks School Road) in Fishers.

The colorful murals will be highly visible from 116th Street and Brooks School Road. The design concept for the murals includes vibrant colors, cosmic elements, and Gary Harris’ “GH” brand symbol.

Through bright colors and symbolic out-of-this-world imagery, the designs are meant to inspire the next generation of Indiana basketball talent to reach for the stars for a bright future.

As a player at Hamilton Southeastern High School in 2012, Harris finished his high school career as 2012 Mr. Indiana Basketball with a school-record of 1,540 points, 467 rebounds, 232 assists, and 232 steals. Harris was rated among the top players in the nation by ESPNU100 (No. 11), Scout.com (No. 16) and Rivals.com (No. 25). He was also ranked among the nation’s top shooting guards by ESPNU100 (No. 2).

The courts will be installed April 5 through May 1, 2024.

“My love of basketball started in Indiana, THE basketball state, and specifically in Fishers. Given all that basketball has done for me and my family, I felt strongly about returning some of that love to the Fishers community with vibrant, statement-making basketball courts for the next generation of Indiana basketball talent to enjoy. I’m very excited to partner with Koda and the City on this project to make the vision a reality.” – Gary Harris

Harrison Thompson project competed

We have completed the basketball half-court at Harrison Thompson Park. By all accounts, it is a big hit and in use nearly 24/7!

The old court was removed for safety reasons and we are really glad we could use proceeds from our Mayor’s Luncheon to bring this amenity back.

“Ritchey Woods is a particularly special place for my family. My mother-in-law, Mimi to the kiddos, takes them “exploring” there several times a year. It’s fun to hear them all, my children and mother-in-law too, talk about all of the things they discovered. It’s tough to tell who enjoys it more, but it’s clear memories are made there each time.” Elliott Hultgren
