Drake Park Splash Pad

Project Overview

Drake Park Splash Pad delivers the perfect amount of splash for this neighborhood park. The Mini FlashFlood slowly builds anticipation among kids as it fills with water, and elicits squeals of delight when the generous flood of water sprays out the bottom. The CanopyCluster with Acrylic and its six berry-like buckets pour down the fun, while the HydroHelix with Acrylic creates a cool and complex water pattern and unique reflection on the ground. The Arch Jet and Crackle Corn ground sprays round out the spray features. Best of all, SkyWays® shade sails were included along the perimeter to give visitors a break from the sun and heat.

Video features the outdoor Aquatix splash pad by Landscape Structures at Drake Park Splash Pad in Des Moines Iowa.

[video: scene fades into a view across a community park from the shade of some large surrounding trees. In the distance is a splash pad and a large brick building. Scene switches to an elevated view of a splash pad with its concrete colored in unique patterns of different shades of blue. Children play at two different water activities. Two girls work together to spin a post with a large wheel on the top spraying water from multiple holes. Two other girls play in the falling water from a large bucket. Scene switches to three girls playing together in the misting spray of a ground sprayer. They giggler as they get wet. Scene switches to two girls jogging around a tree light designed water activities with dumbing cherry shaped buckets of water. Scene switches to a girl as she holds the camera facing herself. She winces as she walks into a wall of falling water. Camera switches back to a full view of the girls playing in the falling water from a large overhead yellow bucket. The water rains down on them. Camera switches to a full areal view of the splash pad. Several shad post surround and picnic tables surround the splash pad. Scene switches to three girls as they stand and wait below the cherry dump buckets waiting the get splashed. The camera focuses on one of the cherry dump buckets as it slowly fills and begins to tilt to empty on children waiting below. Camera switches to a top-down view of the green acrylic panels on the top of the cherry dump bucket tree. Scene switches to a view across the splash pad of two girls waiting in the splash down of the big flood bucket. One girl arches her back pushing her belly up to the sky in a bridge like shape as water rains down on her. Scene switches to a full panning elevated view of the splash pad and children play at the different water activities. Scene switches to a view across the splash pad as children play in the falling water. A girl holds her hands out as a wave of water splashes down on her. A group of children work together to spin a post with a large water wheel at the top. The camera pulls back for a full side view of children playing on the splash pad. A girl stands by herself beneath the large flood bucket. Water showers down on her in slow motion as she holds her hands over her face. A boy looks up at the water wheel as he rotates hand hold wheel at the trunk of the post. Water swirls around him in slow motion. Scene fades out and back into a girl as she dances in the falling water from the large flood bucket. She runs her hands through her braded hair like she is taking a shower. Scene fades out and back into a boy as he jumps in slow motion through the falling water from the cherry tree dump bucket water activity. Blue animated rain drops fall in the center of the screen. The screen fades to white as the droplets fall the Aquatix logo appears. The Aquatix logo slides slightly to the left as a black line appears to the right of the logo. A second logo appears on the right reading “Outdoor Recreation Products”. Children can be heard screaming and laughing in the background as the screen fades to black and the video ends.]
