The Liquid sidechain is a private sidechain. To get access to it, you must contact Blockstream. See https://blockstream.com/liquid/

And what about Lightning Network? Is it a private sidechain as well?

The Lightning Network is not a sidechain. It is a completely different technology and layer on top of Bitcoin. It is not private; anyone can use LN and implement software that works with it. It is not centralized either.
