PolySoft completed a few years ago the Waha Bahrain, one of the biggest splash pads.
The Bahraini climate begs opportunities for kids to play with water and Premier Q, long-time partner of PolySoft in developing splash pads in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, has made water play available to all families living in or visiting the Amwaj Islands residential area since the opening of Waha Splashclub.
This splash park on the edge of the Arabian Gulf, has 800 square meters of slip resistant, fall attenuating PolySoft Splash in turquoise, yellow, blue, and salmon hues with 30 water features that spout, squirt, whoosh, meander, mist, or tumble in waves.
Nabil Rashidi, managing director of Premier Q, designer, and supplier of water park equipment wanted to focus on the cognitive learning and family aspect of the experience. Premier Q partnered with Canadian company, Vortex Aquatic Structures International to develop the family-fun facility, which caters to people of all ages and abilities, including those who rely on wheelchairs for mobility.
Features such as the Water Journey, with its paddles and water paths, teach children about the flow of water; pressure-sensitive water fountains offer hands-on demonstrations of Pascal’s Principle of pressure distribution in liquid; and the thunderous splash of the Super Wave gives a gentle introduction to the power of water in a zero-depth environment.
PolySoft Splash surface and all other installed elements of Waha Splashclub are designed and engineered to meet international safety guidelines for aquatic play, and water drains constantly from the surface, with no opportunity for pooling that might pose a drowning risk.
The water used (around 15,000 Liters) is less than one-third of the 50,000 Liters it takes to fill a small swimming pool and is constantly channelled into a reservoir, where it is sanitized before it again comes up to catch the sun, or the night-time light show.
Behind the scenes, a programmable, computerized control system allows Splashclub managers to adjust water flows, vary the colours of light beaming through the water features and change some activities to up the entertainment ante.
The values of safety and sustainability embodied in Waha Splashclub resonate with PolySoft’s own philosophies.
