Need to beat the heat?

A swim may be the perfect medicine for a heat wave, like the unusually high June temperatures this week. Good news is, the Greater Lafayette area and beyond has plenty of spots to take a dip.

West Lafayette Municipal Pool

If you’re looking for a quick splash or swim, this public pool will have you covered. It features a couple of diving boards, pool furniture, and plenty of swimming space.

The pool is located behind Happy Hollow Elementary (1200 N. Salisbury St) Admission is $7, and is open from noon to 7 p.m.

Prophetstown Water Park

Of two water parks in the area, the cheaper is Prophetstown Water Park. The park is less than a decade old and features two large slides, a long lazy river, a pool and aquatic basketball. Hours are every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Admission is $7, and it is located at 5545 Swisher Rd, West Lafayette.

Tropicanoe Cove

Tropicanoe Cove is a Lafayette spot that was recently updated with new attractions such as a drop slide, and now features cabanas that you can rent out along with all the usual attractions like the large banana slide and lazy river.

Located at 1915 Scott St, hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Admission fees are dependent on height, and anyone over 48" is a $10 admission.

Indiana Beach

Indiana Beach, in Monticello, Indiana, is approaching its centennial in a couple of years. The amusement park and camping grounds had a new twister steel roller coaster installed last year.

The park still has a wide variety of thrill rides, historic wooden roller coasters, and a Coney Island-style boardwalk with an adjunct waterpark with tickets as low as $21.99.
