Vortex Splashpads® offer significant advantages to the city of Tacoma
Metro Parks Tacoma planners were searching for a safe and reliable solution to replace their aging wading pools. By opting for state-of-the-art Vortex Splashpads®, Tacoma gained many advantages over the wading pools:1) The operating and maintenance costs for the user-activated, fully-automated Splashpads® are significantly less than the wading pools.
2) The zero-depth area also allows children and adults with reduced mobility or disabilities to share in the fun and interact.
3) By installing a Vortex High-flow Water Management System (dedicated water recirculation system) at each park, Tacoma was able to minimize the water usage.
4) These installations can be open longer hours than traditional wading pools.
The Splashpads® have become a huge draw, not only within the neighbourhood but from across the city. So far we are seeing about a four-fold attendance increase in each location, compared to the pools.”
