WHITING, IN (FOX 32) - Lake Michigan’s first floating water park will open June 24 in Whiting, Indiana.
The “Whoa Zone” on Whiting’s Whihala Beach was installed by the German company Wibit. The 300,000 investment by the company will feature 61 floating elements including slides, towers, cliffs, tunnels, trampolines, and half pipes. The inflatable sports park will have different features for all ages.
