Since its opening in the summer of 2021, Noblesville’s Bridge of Flowers on the Logan Street Pedestrian Bridge has become a beloved local attraction. Envisioned by Dick Gordon, the project was inspired by his daughter, Sylvia Gordon, who encountered a similar bridge in Massachusetts and saw the potential for Noblesville’s new pedestrian bridge. “The Bridge of Flowers is designed to transition with the seasons, showcasing fall foliage and then blooming with vibrant flowers in the spring,” Dick Gordon explains.

The planning for this project has been a community effort from the start. In December of 2020, Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen offered his enthusiastic support. Shortly afterward, Gordon secured approval from the county commissioners in early January, clearing the path for the project. An engineer’s layout of the design impressed many, with renderings illustrating how the bridge would integrate seamlessly with the seasonal themes.

The project’s budget included approximately $25,000 for flowers, with maintenance and watering emerging as a key logistical focus. "Watering is our main concern because we want this bridge to be beautiful at all times,” Gordon shared. Ongoing discussions with the City of Noblesville have helped work through some of these challenges, with city officials exploring solutions to ensure consistent watering.

During a May meeting, Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Bennett expressed support for the Bridge of Flowers, though he noted that ongoing maintenance would require careful resource allocation. Safety also remains a priority, with plans to secure all installations to prevent vandalism. Brenda Myers of Hamilton County Tourism highlighted that this Bridge of Flowers aligns with the White River Vision Plan, suggesting that this could be the first phase of a broader initiative to enrich the river corridor.

Today, the Bridge of Flowers has blossomed into a dynamic space enjoyed by residents and tourists alike, becoming a go-to spot for seasonal photos and community events.
