Skiles Test Nature Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skiles Test Nature Park, sometimes called Skiles Test Nature Area is an east side Indianapolis park[1] on land bequeathed by Skiles Test, on which once sat the supposed haunted house, The House of Blue Lights.[2]
Skiles Test, a local business man, lived on the property from 1913 to 1964. The property once had a miniature railway and a pool with bathhouses, elevators, and highdives.[3]
In the 1990s, the park became the subject of controversy because it was being used as a tea room by local gay men, often in the sight of children. A teacher from New Castle, Indiana, was caught exposing himself to a student and arrested in 2004.[4]
