Deep River Water Park, Seasonal water park in Crown Point, Indiana
Deep River Water Park is a recreation facility in Merrillville offering 14 water attractions and a 14,500 square-foot ice plaza for year-round entertainment. The two sections operate separately depending on the season, each serving visitors from Northwest Indiana and nearby regions.
The park resulted from a research project started by Lake County Parks and Recreation Department in 1988, which led to opening in 1995. The initiative aimed to create a recreation destination for Northwest Indiana residents.
The facility serves as a gathering space where families and friends come together for water play in summer and ice skating in winter. Local visitors return seasonally to enjoy these distinct recreational experiences with their communities.
The water park operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day, while the ice rink runs from late November through January with limited hours. Check specific day and time availability before visiting to plan your trip accordingly.
The Dragon water slide is the park's fastest attraction, delivering thrilling drops to adventurous riders during summer months. The ice plaza features seasonal lighting effects that enhance the skating experience throughout the winter season.
