This 40’ diameter water play area invites children to splash and dash, to run from one erupting groundspray to another, trying to decode the pattern and guess which one will go off next. The groundsprays are set within a non-slip rubber surface of alternating, undulating blue and green bands. Various creatures “swim” in the blue and green sea: dolphins; a sea turtle; an octopus; a seahorse. Another dimension of fun is added by a 10’ tall spray arch at the center of the water play area. A dolphin rides the crest of the arch and spouts water from its blowhole as part of the overall water play sequence.
