Developer pitches water/adventure park for Hamilton County

The pitch? A 125-acre water and activity park called Skylake Adventure Park.

The developers have already earmarked an undeveloped parcel of land along U.S. 31 near Sheridan to construct the adventure park. Park guests would enter off Dunbar Road and E. 216th and find an oasis of adventure.

The centerpiece of Skylake Adventure Park would be a six-acre man-made lake partially surrounded by white sand beaches. An inflatable jungle gym of obstacle courses, slides and a 40-foot tower would float over the surface of the lake and create an amusement park bobbing on the waves.

The developers promised the man-made lake would be “entirely natural” with no chlorine or concrete. A 6,000 square foot splash pad is also planned.

But the water-based recreation is only part of the fun. Skylake Adventure Park would also feature a 60-foot-high, 400-foot-tall tubing hill for “thrills year-around.” A mini-golf course is also planned along with another main attraction that puts the “Sky” in “Skylake:” A 20-acre treetop course called the “Adventure Zone.”
