The attraction officially opened on December 13 through a partnership between Shark Wake Park West Palm Beach and the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department.

Designed and manufactured by RCI Adventure Products, the ropes course features Sky Trail, a multi-level challenge course with swinging beams, bridges, rope elements and a zip rail, as well as Sky Tykes, a scaled-down course designed for younger children.

County officials said the addition strengthens Okeeheelee Park’s role as a hub for family-friendly recreation while offering visitors a new way to experience the park.

“We’re excited to bring another unique recreation opportunity to Okeeheelee Park,” said Jennifer Cirillo, director of Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation. “This ropes course encourages people to challenge themselves, build confidence and see the park from a whole new perspective. Our partnership with Shark Wake Park continues to expand the ways our community can connect with the outdoors.”

Shark Wake Park was founded by Greg Norman Jr. and opened its West Palm Beach location in 2019 as the first cable watersports park of its kind in Palm Beach County. The park currently offers full-sized cable watersports, a floating obstacle island, and now the newly added ropes course.

The company also operates locations in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and has continued to expand its outdoor adventure offerings.
