Waterplay announces official release of revolutionary Discovery Stream
Waterplay® Solutions officially releases the Discovery Stream, a ground-breaking concept in aquatic play that combines the wonderment of nature with discovery-style play.
Kelowna, BC, Canada, January 8, 2013 — Originally unveiled in October 2012, Waterplay® Solutions’ revolutionary Discovery Stream is now available to the global market. A product concept unlike any other in the aquatic play pad industry, the Discovery Stream is a multi-faceted play feature comprised of a modular stream bed full of interactive weirs designed to mimic nature.
"The idea behind this product is to bring the atmosphere of nature’s water ways to the play pad,” says Waterplay President Jill White. “Envision a gentle, meandering stream packed full of playful fish, flowing water plants and many other fascinating water play elements designed to evoke thoughtful and imaginative play. The modularity of the design is important as it allows each stream to fit in the space as it might occur in nature. It also takes the guess work out of creating a creek bed on site; with this system the installation is simple and you know exactly what you will end up with.”
Designed by Markus Ehring, world-renowned public designer and owner of numerous innovative patents, the Discovery Stream can be custom configured for each space using four segments; a spring, ocean bed and two interlinking bend sections. The spring, placed at the beginning, is designed to feed water into the stream, and the ocean, placed at the end, is designed to collect and drain the water away from the structure.
While providing an eye-catching visual on its own, the Discovery Stream really comes to life with the addition of interactive water weirs designed to promote exploration and inspire the imagination. From water wheels, to plant life, red fish and a charming mill mouse, Mr. Ehring’s designs bring the wonderment of nature to a protected play pad environment for waterplayers of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
Inspired by nature, designed for fun, the Discovery Stream is now available and can fit into many environments, either as a standalone main attraction in a non-waterplay environment such as shopping malls, or as an addition to a larger aquatic environment design.
