Hippo has created a splash at two local leisure centres in time
for the summer. The installation of a pirate
themed Water Factory has revived the leisure pool at Torquay Riviera Centre,
whilst Hippo’s ever popular interactive play panels have brightened up Saltash
Leisure Centre.
The pool’s beach area at Riviera Centre has been transformed into
a Water Factory that will encourage water confidence and swimming in children
of all ages and abilities. The Water
Factory comprises of a Waterball with 2 arms (water wheel and shark shower) and
a span arm arch (water wheels, small and large tipping buckets, pelican squirt)
which joins to a short mast. Both high
and low level play will provide plenty of anticipation and surprises! It is anticipated that the play features will
bring increased visitor numbers and revenue to the centre. An extra buzz will be brought to the pool by a
pirate themed interactive toddler slide!
Riviera Centre is already planning a second interactive play
installation to include expanding the Waterball with another mast and large
tipping bucket with splash board. The
redundant baby pool will also be rejuvenated with a selection of Hippo splash
toys including interactive play panels.
Saltash Leisure Centre has recently seen the installation of three
bright and colourful interactive play panels; Diver, Who Pairs Wins and
Splash. The panels provide auditory and
tactile stimuli as well as incorporating an educational element to play. Saltash will be able to use the play panels
to bring excitement to family and fun sessions and to encourage water
confidence in the toddler and special needs user groups.
Hippo is able to offer a fantastic range of interactive water play
features to pools both locally and throughout the UK. Features can be
customised to suit most pools and accommodate a range of budgets.
