Water Play Equipment: Designing with Water

Interactive water play is fun for the entire family. Children of all ages and abilities can enjoy the benefits of water play from small bubblers to large dumping buckets, water cannons and more. Unlike swimming or wading pools, splash pads or “water playgrounds,” are designed to have no standing water – zero depth. Splash pads can have an entire park theme, smaller areas can be individually themed or no theme at all. The brightly colored equipment is a welcoming beacon to all and provides families with the perfect summer outing.

We offer a wide variety of surface water spray features from those that mist, bubble, gush or jump out of the ground. Surface sprays are a big hit with younger children, while misting features provide comfort and a chance for park guests to cool down on hot days. Architecturally inspired spray features can serve as opportunities for a decorative art water play area in urban areas and other unique greenspaces.

If your client is wanting something more advanced or much larger with a variety of aquatic features, opt for full-scale water park. Water Parks include different areas and can incorporate things like water slides, lazy rivers, wave pools and water play equipment. These parks will keep families busy for hours - and they will attract people from the surrounding areas to your community water park.

Make a statement with WATER! Create innovative aquatic environments by using water playground equipment features as significant design elements. Fountains that dance, water that moves to music, or uses colored lighting—all of this and more make city centers, town squares, gathering places and other entertainment spots more interesting and draw crowds to relax and enjoy their surroundings.

There are plenty of ways to incorporate water into your commercial playgrounds, public green spaces and other outdoor recreation spaces. Contact us to help you explore water play concepts for your park, playground or aquatic facility designs.
