Merrillville residents enjoy access to the expansive Southlake Mall, the area’s only indoor mall, in addition to an array of local and national restaurants.
Merrillville is also home to Deep River Waterpark, where guests can go swimming in the summer and ice skating in the winter. Hidden Lake Park and Oak Ridge Prairie and Oak Savannah Trail provide hiking opportunities while Turkey Creek Golf Course and Innsbrook Country Club supply options for golfing.
