This article from Parks and Recreation Business explores the value of providing water play for all children and communities.
“Increasingly, municipalities are installing splash pads or introducing water elements near traditional playgrounds to expand opportunities for inclusive play.
“Many kids of all ages and abilities are drawn to water–it’s not difficult to engage them! In the warmer months, this is an invaluable opportunity to cool off after playing, while also staying refreshed and energized during play.
“Crucially, modern water features and equipment designed for parks and other public spaces are more inclusive and cost-effective than what was available in the past.”
