Water Factory and Splash Toys for Water Meadows

Hippo Leisure has installed a Water Factory as well as a selection of Splash Toys at Water Meadows Swimming Pool & Fitness Centre in Mansfield.

The centre wanted to update their features to increase regular family visits and kid appeal.

Hippo rose to the challenge of providing a range of play products to entertain children of all ages and abilities, whilst creating as much interactivity as possible in the pool space available.

Hippo worked with the Water Meadows Management team to incorporate their specific needs into the design to give it a totally customised approach.

The older children aged seven and above will love the big splash play that will be provided by an extra-large tipping bucket with a splash board. The bucket is filled by water jets and once a critical fill level is reached, the bucket tips splashing water onto the splash board below. The splash board disperses the water over a wide area before cascading back into the pool.

An interactive water arch from the poolside to the island will also add to the fun. The arch is made up of two masts and a span pipe housing a number of anticipatory play features including a resident pelican water squirt, large water wheel, shark shower and a tipping bucket.

Toddlers and younger children will enjoy playing with a selection of Splash Toys including sensory play panels, water channels and three different themed slides. Hippo’s Under the Sea Toddler Slide is the first to be installed and will provide fantastic interaction in the pool with its mirrored port hole and spinning fish with googly eyes. A kids Surfboard Slide and a Pirate Ship Slide are also sure to be huge hits!
