As splashpads continue to hold the No. 1 spot for most commonly planned park addition, it is essential to approach their design, maintenance and lifecycle through the lens of sustainability. Successful splashpads must account for not just environmental, but also social and economic implications—the three pillars of sustainability.
This presentation serves as a playbook for sustainable splashpad design. Gain powerful insight into new design trends, demographic needs, play-value optimization, innovative energy and resource management, and emerging technologies that are helping facilities maximize lifecycle, minimize maintenance and plan for the future.
Through this webinar, attendees will learn to:
- Apply a sustainable framework to splashpad design, maintenance and lifecycle.
- Leverage unique design approaches to support childhood development and active play, which, in turn, promotes a healthy community.
- Analyze through different case studies ROI-boosting methodologies, long-term usability and programming needs that maximize the splashpad's life cycle.
- Apply a project development methodology to sustainable splashpad design.
