Like many leaders in the recreation industry, those responsible for the operations of waterparks and other aquatic play spaces have been more and more focused on making sure their offerings are attractive for a wide range of users.
Sure, there will always be niche offerings—some facilities will always be designed for more specific groups of users—but increasingly, waterparks, aquatic parks, splash play areas and similar venues are finding ways to make their facilities an intergenerational, inclusive experience for the community.
Every year in this guide, we take a closer look at trends, best practices and innovative ideas for waterparks and splash play areas, and this year’s guide offers a lot of ideas for expanding your audience, whether that means making sure your splash pad is more inclusive or keeping your waterpark open into the nighttime hours to provide a different kind of experience for a different kind of age demographic.
Keep reading to find out how you can keep the water splashing, spraying, misting and flowing to ensure a fun time for everyone.
Cheers!
