Slated for completion in late September 2023, the new splash park will feature an impressive selection of in-ground and above-ground structures. Among the highlights are exhilarating slides, refreshing water sprays, a captivating spiral tunnel, and the delightful Fun-brella.
Additionally, children will have a blast with the Sneaky Soaker, whilst thrill-seekers can enjoy the Surf Cannon and Surfboard attractions. For an ultimate drenching experience, a towering Dump Bucket will provide endless laughter and excitement.
One key aspect of the splash park’s design is its focus on sustainability. In line with the growing need for responsible water usage, the park incorporates a water circulation system that emphasises conservation.
This innovative system will recycle and reuse water, allowing up to an impressive 95 percent of used water to be recovered.
In addition to its water features, the design of the splash park also takes into account the comfort and convenience of parents and caretakers. New landscaping and seating areas will provide ample space for families to relax and supervise their children whilst enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
