Recently, the World Health Organization underscored the importance of community parks as they relate to family health. Acknowledging an increase in obesity and chronic diseases, the WHO stressed the significant impact of the environment on a child's overall well-being.

Are today's public parks up to the challenge? As demographics, inclusiveness and health concerns evolve, recreational facilities must step up their game to keep communities engaged and active.

This webinar will explore effective community infrastructure through the lens of aquatic play. We'll discover how Splashpads increase park usage, promote inclusion and build social capital that helps communities grow and flourish.

In this presentation, attendees will learn about:

• The factors that contribute to a park's attractiveness and usage.
• Accessibility, universal design and inclusive design approaches to Splashpad design.
• How to apply an inclusive framework to Splashpad design.
• How Splashpads build social capital and contribute to the welfare of communities.
