TRANSFORMING A COMMUNITY 

A stunning revitalization, families and children of all ages can now come to play at Moreton Bay Regional Council’s NEW regional park. Complete with adventure play, water play, BBQ’s, shelters and an amenities block, this award winning space is a compliment to a growing area where people can live, work and raise their families! 

SOLUTION

A zero-depth splash pad beautifully designed with cannons, drenching loops and spinning sprays makes for a dynamic, fun-filled splash pad. What makes this space especially awesome is the hands-on, action-reaction play elements at various heights that promote active play for all ages and abilities. To bring it all together is the popular "PUDDLES" that bring the fun of rain puddles to the splash pad! Kids of all ages can stomp, dance or hop on this unique ground spray to create a splashy water effect. It's the ORIGINAL splash pad Puddle! 

The play space is such a success it's part of an award-winning revitalization project:
