Make a Splash with the Hottest Trend in the Aquatics Industry

Do you want a unique water feature in your park or maybe even your backyard? Are you ready to fork out major cash?

Well you’re in luck! Splash Pads can be very affordable!

 

Everyone wants a unique water feature in their park, sometimes even in their back yard! Splash pads have drastically enhanced communities that have always wanted to offer aquatic recreation to residents. Splash pads are a colorful way to attract children. Even better, splash pads are budget friendly! Meaning you can change or add features as your budget permits!

First you need to do some research. Figure out what look you’re going for and what type of equipment you want in your waterplay area. Visit parks to get ideas!

 

Next you need to realize that a water playground is much different than a traditional playground. If you don’t recognize this, you’re in serious trouble! Adding an element of water to a play area can create significant threats for children, the main threat being the slip factor.

 

There are two options for splash pad surfacing: sand painted concrete and a safety surface. Although painting can be much cheaper there are also many disadvantages to a concrete surface.

1.       Despite the sandy feel of the paint, the concrete surface is still very slippery

2.       Concrete is not porous like safety surface, so water will pool on the surface

3.       When children do fall, they land on a rough surface which can create serious injuries like knee scrapes! Ouch!

Although Safety Surface is more expensive, but is a great option for splash pads

1.       Create unique graphics with a variety of color blends

2.       Porous surface, water does NOT pool

3.       Provides a soft cushiony surface for the little ones feet
