SKYLAKE Adventures brings new wave of fun to Sheridan

SKYLAKE Adventures, Indiana’s first adventure park, held its grand opening last Thursday, June 4, providing a new kind of outdoor recreation destination to central Indiana and giving families, visitors, and adventure seekers a fresh place to splash, climb, slide, relax and reconnect this summer.

The privately developed destination opened its first wave of attractions with a six-acre lake, white-sand beaches, rentable aqua cabanas, lake-based recreation, floating obstacle courses and an X-Tower with multiple water slides.

The grand opening celebration featured remarks from SKYLAKE Founder Phil Sack, Co-founder Sean Howard, Sheridan Town Council President Si DeVaney. The ribbon-cutting was followed by a highly visual landing of parachuters onto the beach and a “First Wave” countdown that marked the official start of the park’s first season. After the ceremony, guests entered the water and spent the day experiencing the park’s beach areas, slides, water attractions, music, entertainment, and family-friendly activities.

“Today is more than the opening of a park – it’s the beginning of a destination built to bring people together,” Howard said. “We created SKYLAKE for families, friends, teams and visitors who want something different: a place where they can be active, relax by the water and make memories they’ll want to come back for again and again. Seeing the first guests hit the water today was an unforgettable moment for everyone who helped bring this vision to life.”

The opening marks the culmination of nearly five years of planning and development, supported by local investors, civic organizations, government officials, community partners and regional leaders. The park is designed to open in phases, with the first wave focused on water-based experiences and future additions planned to expand SKYLAKE into a year-round outdoor destination.

SKYLAKE’s location near U.S. 31 in Hamilton County positions the park to serve local families, youth sports travelers, regional visitors, corporate groups, and private events. The destination adds a new entertainment and recreation option to one of Indiana’s fastest-growing areas while creating a place designed for multigenerational experiences.

 

 

“Hamilton County continues to be a place where families, sports, tourism and quality-of-life investments come together,” Sack said. “This more than $50 million investment reflects our confidence in the region and our belief that SKYLAKE can become a destination for residents, youth sports families, regional visitors and groups looking for a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience.”
