Designing an ideal commercial splash pad

Posted on February 22, 2024 by PlayLSI

If you’re on the hunt for a thrilling and interactive water play experience, you’ve landed in the right place. Aquatix®, our splash play division, crafts innovative and customized commercial splash pads designed to surpass your expectations. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of Aquatix splash pads, customization options and their top-of-the-line safety features. Whether you’re designing for a community pool, aquatic center or private water park, commercial splash pads from Aquatix are the perfect enhancement to any recreational space.

The advantages of a splash pad

When it comes to crafting an enjoyable experience for visitors, splash pads are a great addition to any park and recreation space. The installation of a commercial splash pad can bring a multitude of benefits including attracting more visitors. People of all ages are drawn to water play, and a well-constructed splash pad will entice children and families to partake in the cooling and fun activity.

Splash pads also offer low maintenance and operational costs. Unlike conventional pools, splash pads require minimal upkeep and have lower operating expenses. With no standing water, there is no need for lifeguards or extensive cleaning procedures. This translates into cost savings for your community.

Customization options for spray play environments

When it comes to commercial splash pads, customization is vital to creating a one-of-a-kind and engaging play experience. Aquatix offers customization options that allow you to design splash pads that perfectly suit your environment and theme.

One of the main advantages of Aquatix splash pads is the wide range of water features and structures available. From water sprayers and fountains to dumping buckets and water tunnels, the possibilities are endless. Their experts can help you choose the right combination of features to create a dynamic and exciting splash play environment.

Your splash pad designs should also offer interactive elements. Interactive water toys and games encourage children to explore and interact with the water, fostering creativity and imagination. These elements can be customized to fit your specific theme or branding, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing play space.

Aquatix commercial splash pads are suitable for a variety of locations. No matter your space, Aquatix designers will collaborate with you to create the perfect splash pad design. Your splash pad design can incorporate a theme that tells your facility or community’s story.

Aquatix understands the importance of creating splash pad designs that stand out from the competition. Customization options from Aquatix provide endless possibilities for creating a one-of-a-kind play experience. Contact us today to learn more about how our commercial splash pads can enhance your space and engage children in active and imaginative play.

Safety and sturdiness of splash pads

When it comes to commercial splash pads, safety and sturdiness are of the utmost importance. Aquatix commercial splash pads are built using only the finest materials, carefully selected for their strength and resistance to wear. We believe in providing products that can withstand the test of time, allowing for years of fun and excitement.

When investing in a commercial splash pad, it is essential to choose a product that is long-lasting and resistant to wear. Aquatix splash pads withstand heavy use and the elements, making them a reliable choice for your commercial space. With proper maintenance, our splash pads will continue to provide endless fun for years to come.

Legacy of Play H2O Contest allows Minnesota Kiwanis Club to create safe aqua play solution

Posted on March 31, 2022 by PlayLSI

We’re excited to announce that the Chisholm Kiwanis Club of Chisholm, Minn., is the winner of the Legacy of Play H2O Contest and will receive an AquaSmart™ Package valued at US$50,000.

Chisholm is a mining town on the Mesabi Range in Northern Minnesota with a population of less than 5,000. While the town is built around the 158-acre Longyear Lake, it is not fit for swimming and several nearby open pit mines are not monitored or safe for swimming. That’s why the Chisholm Kiwanis Club was focused on bringing an option for safe water play to the community.

The club will install the splash pad equipment in Memorial Park, a space that already offers football and softball fields, sand volleyball, bocce ball and pickleball courts, as well as the summer recreation program. The addition of the splash pad will encourage even more community members as well as surrounding communities to visit and enjoy the beautiful town of Chisholm.

“Our club celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020, and this project has been something we’ve been talking about ever since,” explained Shannon Kishel-Roche, Chisholm Kiwanis Club’s president. “A splash pad was a great solution to our lack of community swimming options, and it’s a great opportunity to commemorate our club’s centennial.”

While this is the first year that Aquatix®, Landscape Structures and Kiwanis International have sponsored the Legacy of Play H2O contest, we have partnered with Kiwanis to sponsor the Legacy of Play Contest focused on playgrounds for eight years.

Landscape Structures and Aquatix partnered with Kiwanis to create the Legacy of Play H2O Contest as a way to help Kiwanis clubs achieve their goal of bringing play to all children.

The benefits of commercial shade sails

Posted on August 19, 2021 by PlayLSI

We all know the physical and emotional benefits to getting outdoors. Adding commercial shade structures benefits your outdoor spaces by increasing visitors to your community parks, playgrounds, sports and recreation complexes, and more. With the added protection of shade, play sessions can be extended making the benefits of play and outdoor activity even greater. We can help you add commercial shade sails to your outdoor areas with SkyWays® shade structures, which offers flexible and stylish options to make everywhere that people gather outside more comfortable.

To appreciate the commercial shade structures benefits, it’s important to understand the risks and long-term effects of UV radiation and sun exposure. Evidence from the Skin Cancer Foundation shows that sun exposure and sunburns during childhood multiply the risk of developing skin cancer. And according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), unprotected skin can be damaged by the sun’s UV rays in as little as 15 minutes—even when days are cool and cloudy. SkyWays commercial shade sails provide critical protection, blocking up to 97 percent of the sun’s UV rays while making temperatures underneath up to 30-degrees cooler.

When adequate shade is added to playgrounds and surrounding areas, kids are protected from UV exposure, and parents and caregivers are more likely to extend play sessions. Families may be more likely to extend their picnic or family outing if they’re keeping cool and protected under a shade. Additionally, schools are utilizing shade sails and structures to extend their classroom space to the great outdoors. By adding SkyWays shade sails to existing courtyards or a new outdoor classroom space, schools can embrace the benefits of nature for outdoor learning and not worry about sun exposure or inclement weather.

Even more, commercial shade sails can help protect your investment. Integrating SkyWays shade into your playground design or adding it after your outdoor space has been completed will shield it from the intense rays of the sun and protect it from harsh winter weather. Shade structures help to prevent premature fading and deterioration by keeping the color of equipment vibrant and preventing cracking that happens over time from sun exposure.

Learn more about SkyWays commercial shade structures, and contact your local Landscape Structures consultant to get started on a shade project for your park, playground, outdoor classroom, sports and recreation complex, or wherever you need shade today.
