Polar Plunge Trades Eagle Creek Park for New Adventure Park in 2027
Sheridan – October 01, 2026 -- Special Olympics Indiana is moving its signature Polar Plunge season showcase from Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis to SKYLAKE Adventures, a new adventure park in Sheridan, starting in 2027.
SKYLAKE Adventures opened in June 2026 just north of Westfield's Grand Park Sports Campus. Its first phase included a six-acre manmade lagoon, white-sand beaches, floating obstacle courses and water slides. For winter, the venue will add a snow tubing hill, ice skating, a three-story ropes course and holiday activities to host the plunge.
Ramp access will let wheelchair users take the plunge
The new venue keeps Polar Plunge traditions intact, including costumes, teams and fundraising challenges. Ramp access to the water will create opportunities for individuals who use wheelchairs to participate.
