There is a growing desire to help younger children and the less physically active enjoy Australia’s long summers and outdoor lifestyle. For this reason, both local authorities and private organisations are installing facilities that can be enjoyed in a safe and enjoyable manner by all members of the community.
Elements within splash parks and water play parks are designed to suit a number of different ages and confidence levels, from exciting fully enclosed water slides, to shaded paddling pools with beach-style entry. Children enjoy the opportunity for free play with fountains, sprays, tipping buckets, lazy rivers and bubble pools.
These water play parks have been installed in a wide variety of locations, including public open spaces, residential developments, indoor and outdoor leisure and aquatic centres, child care facilities and children’s medical facilities.
Commercial Aquatics Australia has helped clients design and then gone on to construct a wide variety of these family attractions, incorporating elements that mean sustainable parks with low maintenance requirements and reduced running costs. These features range from extensive water reclamation measures and continuous water recycling, to design determinations that obviate the need for full-time lifeguard attendance.
