MAKE A SPLASH! 2021 GRANT WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

In 2020, we co-hosted our first ever Make a SPLASH! Contest with Inside Edge Safety Surfaces that awarded a grand prize grant for Life Floor safety surfacing to Dothan, Alabama for their Andrew Belle Splash Pad. We initiated this contest to uplift communities across the country with beautiful splash pad surfacing designs that add increased safety for residents.

This year, we decided to bring the contest to life again. We received a 177% increase in entries in comparison to last year’s contest from facilities located in 22 different states across the U.S. We saw entries that wanted to make their splash pads safer (56%), more beautiful (35%), and more accessible (5%) for all types of visitors. We were overwhelmed by the number of cities and organizations making strides towards improving their communities and striving to make a positive difference. 

One entry in particular stood out to our teams. This entry showed the clear passion that the staff has for their community and the dedication they have towards making it safer and more fun for everyone. 

We are excited to announce the winner of the 2021 Make a SPLASH! Grant Contest:

WELLS PARK SPRAY PAD IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

On Friday December 10th, Life Floor and Inside Edge Safety Surfaces called the city to the deliver the news that they had won the full grant for their splash pad upgrade.

2020 Make a SPLASH Grant Contest Grand Prize Winner

Safety Drives Fun at Handy Park Splash Pad

In 2020, we co-hosted our first ever Make a SPLASH! Contest with Inside Edge Safety Surfaces to award grants to municipalities in the U.S. for upgrading their splash pad surfaces. We initiated this contest to be able to uplift communities across the country with beautiful splash pad surfacing designs that add increased safety for residents. Redford Township, Michigan was one of our winners, earning our 3rd place prize, a 25% grant towards tiles and installation. 

“Redford Township’s splash pad is coming up on our 15th year of operation and continues to remain one of the most popular spring and summer destinations here in our community… This destination is free and open to the public regardless of what community they live in. Many of our families and surrounding community are low to moderate income so this provides an affordable fun option for summertime fun. Back when the project was completed, options for flooring for our system, budget and for sustainability was the brushed concrete. Over time and the high volume of usage, the concrete surfacing has worn down and has become very slippery over the past couple of years. We have tried several options through local contractors to find a solution, but unfortunately we made the decision to close the splash pad at the end of the 2019 season in order to find a safe, cost effective, long term solution. Since this time, we have been looking at options to re-open this popular summertime activity and maintain a safe flooring which is essential. Due to COVID this past year, Recreation Departments have been hit hard and unfortunately we had to put the project on hold. If Redford Township won the Make A Splash Contest this would help restore this amenity for the residents of not only our community but those around us and enable us to operate for many more years to come.”

— Theresa Burgess, Redford Township Leisure Services Director

Before: Painted Concrete

After: Life Floor

The safety issues Redford Township experienced with their surfacing at Handy Park really resonated with our team. We know how important splash pads can be to provide accessible water play to communities across the country so we were happy to award this municipality a prize to make their surfacing safer. Our Studio Team designed a High Tide Theme in a 401 Pattern for the 2000 sq ft installation to brighten up the splash pad while providing a budget-friendly option along with the 25% grant. 

This automobile-themed splash pad showcases a unique car wash spray feature to inspire kids to use their imagination as they drive through the jets and sprays. With a variety of elements from very small jets to larger dumping devices, there are water play activities available to engage guests of all ages, abilities, and comfort levels.

When Kelsi Goss, our Vice President of Design, visited the splash pad one weekend this summer, she remarked at how many community members and families were enjoying this feature together.

“It was great to see such a wide age range of kids having fun in the water and how many families chose to set up picnics and tents adjacent to the splash pad at Handy Park. I watched a few kids take a tumble but they bounced right up again to resume playing. This wouldn’t have been the case if they had fallen on concrete.”

— Kelsi Goss, Life Floor Vice President of Design

Having Life Floor on the surface enables a variety of activities and types of risky play. Babies can crawl across the soft surface and begin to explore water play with smaller jets. Children can be found sprinting around the splash pad playing tag, hiding under the water umbrella, “driving” through the car wash, and even doing cartwheels. We’re happy to have helped improve this community feature so residents can fully enjoy all this splash pad has to offer!

Thank you to Inside Edge Safety Surfaces for installing Life Floor at Handy Park Splash Pad and for partnering with us in the contest.

SEEING IS BELIEVING: HOW LIFE FLOOR TRANSFORMS AQUATIC FACILITIES

Since 2011, we’ve repeatedly seen the noticeable visual transformation that Life Floor can make at facilities. Brilliant pops of color have surfaced over drab, grey concrete and gorgeous, interactive themed designs have replaced failing pour-in-place products. Paired with the promise of safer surfaces, Life Floor makes all the difference. 

In honor of National Park and Recreation Month we’ve featured some of our favorite before and after photos of municipal projects below. 

CEDARCREST SPLASH PAD - BLOOMINGTON, MN

Cedarcrest Splash Pad in Bloomington, MN is located near our Minneapolis office and is often shown to new hires and visitors as a classic example of a Life Floor installation. Before resurfacing with our foam-rubber tiles, Cedarcrest had grey concrete that was indistinguishable from the adjacent playground. This was a major issue for the facility because kids would often come running from the playground onto the splash pad only to fall because of the hard, slippery surface. Not to mention, the park lacked color and whimsy. By choosing Life Floor to increase safety and add design, a bright blue triangle gradient pattern now serves as a visual cue to visitors that the environment is changing as they enter the water play area. This resurfacing effort was so transformative on the look of the park that residents thought an entirely new splash pad had been installed!

TRAILHEAD PARK SPLASH PAD - WINTER HAVEN, FL

The City of Winter Haven, FL originally built this splash pad in 2016 with a grey concrete finish. They resurfaced it with different products about 3-4 times over the years as they tried to reduce slip-and-fall accidents since they realized concrete was ultimately unsafe on its own. The aquatics division performed a significant amount of research as they searched for the best solution when they were finally introduced to Life Floor. The committee at Winter Haven ultimately opted for our safety surfacing, pleased with the fact that our tiles could reduce injuries while also being certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 50. This benefit of increased safety was paired with the vibrant blue square patterning that the city selected, visually enhancing the entire facility.

PARR PARK SPLASH PAD - GRAPEVINE, TX

With concrete slabs on splash pads heating up to dangerous temperatures in hot climates like Texas, the City of Grapevine resorted to a concrete coating. Unfortunately, the coating increased the number of slip and fall injuries. The city approached Life Floor knowing our products feel cooler than concrete and remain slip-resistant when wet from their experience at the Pleasant Glade pool. The city also wanted a completely new and unique design to stand out from other splash pads in the community. Using a mottled effect across the splash pad with our hexagon shape, Life Floor was installed in a bright, modern color palette to create an elevated experience for visitors.

Veterans Park Splash Pad - Monroe Township, NJ

Veterans Park Splash Pad in Monroe Township, NJ was originally surfaced with a blue fleck pour-in-place product that was failing. It had needed to be patched multiple times and was getting into the facility’s filtration systems. It was difficult to clean and keep clean despite best efforts and the township was ready to replace the substrate with a more durable and easily cleanable surface. This is an issue our team has encountered on a countless number of refurbishments. Products designed for dry play simply don’t hold up in wet environments especially when paired with UV or chemical degradation over time. Inside Edge Safety Surfaces recommended Life Floor to the city and installed a beautiful 301 Pattern design at the splash pad.

ANDREW BELLE SPLASH PAD - DOTHAN, AL

Prior to winning our 2020 Make a Splash! Grant Contest, Andrew Belle Splash Pad featured a concrete surface, similar to many other splash pads across the country. The community had a need to improve safety at this facility and a desire to brighten up the area with a vibrant design. With the addition of Life Floor, the Andrew Belle Splash Pad is now cushioned and slip-resistant while featuring a bold mix of square tiles, which have completely transformed the location. This upgrade was a welcome improvement for the local community who has already started enjoying their new surface this summer.

SETTING A SAFER PRECEDENT FOR CANADA: YMCA OF GREATER MONCTON

Recently, NSF International expanded Standard 50 to extend across Canada, which includes recommendations for surfacing in aquatic play areas under NSF/ANSI/CAN 50:26 (formerly NSF/ANSI 50:26).

With its recent Life Floor installation, the YMCA of Greater Moncton, NB is one of the first aquatic facilities in Canada to recognize the importance of having NSF/ANSI/CAN 50:26 certified safety surfacing. The facility is a combination of an indoor splash pad with a zero-depth entry and a playground. Because of this unique configuration, the staff sought out a product that was able to transition seamlessly from wet to dry applications while maintaining their commitment to safety. To accomplish this, they selected Life Floor to be installed.

“Having seen Life Floor at a major trade show, we knew it was the product we wanted to install in our new facility.”

— Scott Munro, Vice President of Facilities

A custom beach-inspired design was chosen to complement the existing tropical theming. Life Floor’s foam-rubber tiles were able to create the perfect transition the YMCA needed between the wet and dry play areas, especially since splash pads are essentially wet playgrounds. The cushioned and impact-absorbing surfacing allows children to run, jump, and play without limits - never needing to stop and put on shoes or change the way they play from one area to the next. As a result, the fully immersive experience enhances imaginative play. 

The YMCA of Greater Moncton is skipping ahead of their competition by creating a facility full of imagination, play, and fun. They have created a holistic experience to provide their members with the perfect beach day right in their community’s backyard.

We thank the YMCA of Greater Moncton for their commitment to safety and for being one of the first in Canada to adopt NSF/ANSI/CAN 50:26 safety surfacing standards for the benefit of their members. We look forward to the future as more Canadian facilities follow their example and recognize the importance of this safety standard as an integral part of their business.

Le YMCA du Grand Moncton, NB crée un précédent sécuritaire en milieu aquatique au Canada.

Récemment, NSF International a étendu la norme Standard 50 partout au Canada, incluant des recommandations pour les surfaces de jeu aquatiques sous l’appellation NSF/ANSI/CAN 50,26 (précédemment nommée NSF/ANSI 50:26).

Avec ses récentes installations de Life Floor, le YMCA du Grand Moncton, NB est l’un des premiers centres d’installation aquatique à reconnaître l’importance d’avoir une surface sécuritaire certifiée NSF/ANSI/CAN 50:26. En effet, l’établissement se compose d’un mix de  deux (2) aires de jeux, l’une étant une surface mouillée (indoor splash pad) plane et l’autre étant une aire de jeux sèche. À cause de cette configuration spéciale, les employés ont recherché un produit qui permettrait la transition en toute transparence, de la surface mouillée à la surface sèche pour leurs activités tout en gardant un engagement de sécurité irréprochable. Un seul choix leur permettait de tout rallier : Life Floor.

Après avoir vu Life Floor lors d'un grand salon, nous avons sû que c’était le produit que nous voulions pour nos installations !  —Scott Munro, Vice Président du YMCA du Grand Moncton, NB

Au niveau du design,  le thème tropical dans l’aire de jeu d’eau et le thème plage dans l’aire de jeu sèche sont en parfaite harmonie pour s’adapter au thème pré-existant. Et maintenant, les enfants peuvent donc courir, sauter, culbuter et jouer sans limites sur une surface conforme aux nouveaux standards. Les surfaces coussinées  et absorbant tout impact permettent aux enfants de jouer sans s’arrêter pour mettre leurs chaussures ou changer leur façon de jouer d’un endroit à l’autre. Comme résultat, l’expérience devient totalement immersive et renforce leur jeu imaginatif.

Le YMCA du Grand Moncton devient donc un chef de file en adoptant des installations pleines d’imagination, de jeu et de plaisir ! Ils ont créé une expérience holistique en offrant à leurs membres une journée de plage parfaite en plein dans leur cour !

Nous remercions le YMCA du Grand Moncton de leur engagement pour la sécurité de leurs membres et d’être les premiers au Canada à appliquer la norme NSF/ANSI/CAN 50.26. Nous espérons que plusieurs autres organismes, centres aquatiques  et municipalités suivront l’exemple du YMCA et reconnaîtront l’importance de l’application de cette recommandation comme faisant partie de leur politique d’opération .

Pairing Luxury with Fun at ULTIQA Beach Haven on Broadbeach Resort

Located on the Gold Coast in Australia is ULTIQA Beach Haven on Broadbeach Resort. A recent refurbishment of this unique outdoor swimming pool included Life Floor to improve comfort and underfoot safety on the pool island deck, stair step, and wading pool floor at this popular family resort. 

“Guests are loving the Life Floor tiles especially the safe texture for the little ones in the wading section. The colourful design of the Life Floor tiles on the pool island is inviting and provides a safe area for children to enjoy.”

— Pam McIntyre, Resort Manager, ULTIQA Beach Haven on Broadbeach Resort

Featuring a wavy pattern in Life Floor’s High Tide Color Theme, this slip-resistant safety surfacing enables guests to run, jump, and play without fear of slipping and falling on the island platform. One of the top concerns for many facilities is related to slip-and-fall injuries and increased liability, so choosing Life Floor is not only a beautiful choice, but also a decision that can help mitigate risk. Due to Life Floor’s NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 50 Certification, facility operators can be assured that Life Floor provides an industry-leading safety surfacing option to improve guest experience. Through feedback from families, this resort has experienced a positive increase in overall user happiness that contributes to an immersive and inclusive experience for all ages.

Thank you to ULTIQA Hotels and Resorts for the opportunity to make your pool deck safer and more beautiful with Life Floor. We look forward to continuing to serve you and your guests.

Including Play Elements in Splash Pad Surface Design

Splash pads have become a welcome addition to many communities, water parks, cruise ships, and resorts since they provide water play for guests of all ages. Typically, the main attractions of these areas have been spray features. Some splash pads also incorporate slides and multi-level play structures - essentially playgrounds with water added to them. While these elements offer many different ways to play on splash pads, these facilities become even more exciting when they offer an engaging flooring design. By adding a design or pattern to the surface of a splash pad, not only does the feature look better overall, but it also provides children with the opportunity to play and engage in more diverse ways. 

A simple way of designing the surface of a splash pad is to make it thematic. This allows the floor to match the look and feel of the features on site and become part of the attraction. For instance, a splash pad with aquatic or sea creature spray features could be designed with colors that mimic the ocean or the beach. To expand on this idea, sea creature shapes embedded throughout the floor can further enhance theming. Facilities can even use these sea creatures for search and find activities. They could invite guests to find all of the seahorses or count the number of starfish, for instance. 

Splash pads can also enhance guest experience by including games in the surface design. Hopscotch boards, four square configurations, and Twister-like layouts can all be used to add extra activities to the aquatic play area. Giant mazes could also engage guests in new ways. These flooring features can add play value to a surface that may have otherwise been left blank. 

Other designs can encourage guests to follow certain paths or hop across certain features. For instance, small lily pad inlays could encourage children to leapfrog across a “pond.” Likewise, winding paths could lead guests through and around spray features. A treasure hunt design could also provide a guided imaginative adventure. 

Splash pad flooring designs also have the potential to engage children with life-sized objects portrayed on the surface. True-to-life inlays of whales or dolphins can be designed into the splash pad as a fun, educational element. Flat shapes of surfboards or boats can encourage children to pretend that they’re exploring the sea. 

Beyond all of these ideas for thematic elements and games, splash pads can encourage creative free play with simple geometric designs. For a splash pad using a variety of colors, children can invent games out of stepping on tiles of certain colors. A similar idea can be applied to a splash pad that features different tile shapes. Concentric circles or bands of color also inspire engagement in new ways.

All of the designs shown above have been created using Life Floor tiles, which can be customized to any shape or size. Pairing an engaging surface design with our slip-resistant and cushioned tiles has the potential to enhance a simple splash pad with both safety and elements of fun — increasing play value and overall appeal.

National Water Safety Month: Improving Accessibility at the Surface Level

Thanks for coming back to week three of our National Water Safety Month series on issues and topics prominent in the aquatics industry! In case you missed it, be sure to check out our previous post about how important it is to reduce slip and fall injuries within aquatic environments. This week our focus is on how accessibility enables a greater and safer way to play. 

Creating accessibility in built environments levels the playing field, enabling everyone to interact and explore on their own terms. Today, communities increasingly strive to create inclusive recreation areas that are inviting to guests of all ages and abilities. These facilities attract and encourage a safer and more accessible play experience by using a variety of features and paying attention to certain design elements like spacing, color, size, and flow. This emphasis to provide interactive, social, and active play opportunities for all should also be applied to aquatic facilities, whenever possible. When accessibility is inherent in a facility’s design, even more guests are able to perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with features, leading to a more robust play experience. 

With our slip-resistant and cushioned tiles, Life Floor offers an approach to surfacing that enhances aquatic facilities and splash pads by making them safer and more enjoyable to a larger range of guests. Beyond providing a safety surfacing solution, our tiles can also wrap around coping edges and steps to further improve traction for guests that require more stable footing, thereby reducing risk of injury in these areas. Other surfaces commonly found in aquatic environments, such as concrete or ceramic tile, can lead to a less safe or more inaccessible experience due to lack of traction, cushioning, and/or comfort. Enhancing safety at the surface level makes aquatic facilities more accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities, especially those who may be more prone to injury. As a result, very young children can begin to explore water play, the senior population can engage more safely in activities at their community pools, and guests of all abilities are invited to enjoy splash pads and other aquatic features. 

While use of a product like Life Floor can enhance safety and accessibility, other design methods can be used at the surface level to further accommodate a wide range of guests. These techniques can involve visual, textural, and mobility considerations. 

Use of color at the ground level within aquatic facilities can provide visual cues to a wider range of patrons. For instance, contrasting colors can help the visually impaired differentiate between different depth or surface changes. These visual color cues can supplement traditional depth markers, which do not take into account those who have limited vision or reading abilities. A contrasting colored band of coping around a pool can help to define where the deck ends and the water begins. Likewise, use of contrasting colors at the edges of steps can signal elevation changes, especially when visually obscured by water. Use of more subtle patterns with less contrast across pool decks can help to avoid confusion for patrons that may have challenges with depth perception. Keeping these techniques in mind can create an environment that inspires confidence for a greater range of guests.  

Contrasting color bands at step edges help define elevation changes underwater.

A band of contrasting color and texture indicates where the pool deck ends and the water begins.

A contrast in textures can also provide a way of differentiating between zones and features. Much in the way that tactile paving bumps signal transitions for the visually impaired, such as where the sidewalk meets the street, a similar technique can indicate changes within aquatic environments. Varying textures in this way enables people with sensory preferences or low vision to feel distinct differences when entering new areas of a facility. This equips individuals with an understanding of where they are located as well as possible features in their surroundings. At the moment, Life Floor is offered in two distinct textures that have achieved this approach at facilities where it’s been requested along pool edges. Providing these tactile methods of communication has the ability to increase safety and awareness for guests within aquatic facilities. 

Sloped transitions make an elevated pool deck surface accessible to all guests.

Ensuring that these spaces accommodate visitors with mobility challenges further increases accessibility. While pool lifts are commonly used, other design features can enhance the ways that guests are able to interact with aquatic environments. For people who ride wheelchairs, installation of ramps, sloped entrances leading into pools, or transition strips at the edges of raised decks or splash pads can enable access to features that may have otherwise been difficult to enjoy. Surfacing materials that provide traction and a more stable experience for these guests will also enhance their ability to confidently navigate these environments. Attention to spacing of features on splash pads can also improve access to more guests, especially those who ride wheelchairs. Designing with attention to mobility in mind ensures that aquatic recreation may be frequented by a greater diversity of patrons, creating a better experience overall.     

We’re happy that Life Floor is able to enhance safety and accessibility at facilities in many of these ways as we love watching people of all ages and abilities come together to enjoy aquatic spaces. Equal opportunity to experience play and joy has always been important to our team and we look forward to continuing to equip facilities with a solution that creates beautiful, safer, and more accessible environments for all.

Pairing Safety Surfacing with Risky Play at Costa Bavaro Resort

Located in Punta Cana on the coast of the Dominican Republic, Lopesan’s Costa Bavaro Resort offers 5-star accommodations and amenities to provide guests with an oceanfront Caribbean experience. Among the features on this 27-acre property is a 16,146 sq. ft. aquatic play area named Splash Island, the result of the creative collaboration between Martin Aquatic Design & Engineering and WhiteWater West and installation by Inside Edge. Splash Island’s main attraction is an elevated play structure by WhiteWater complete with slides and spray features. This area is augmented by integrated natural landscaping elements functioning as “islands” and Life Floor surfacing, which pairs theming with our tiles’ slip-resistant and impact-attenuating properties. Our High Tide color combination of blue tiles is featured in the main play area while sandy colors speckle the deck to simulate a beach where parents relax as children and teenagers play. The pairing of Life Floor surfacing with WhiteWater’s multi-level play structure and the other spray features on-site creates an attraction committed to both adventurous play and safety. 

Large landscaped “islands” separate the larger risky play area from the adjacent splash pad where smaller children may feel more comfortable. These different zones help shape children’s development at different stages. Any type of water play for infants and toddlers can be seen as risky from their perspective. For instance, interacting with spray features on a splash pad is often a new and exciting experience. Life Floor surfacing enables this type of early water play and exploration while also providing cushioning for potential falls from wobbly footing at this age. 

Children will ultimately seek out more adventurous activities as they get older. It is important for facilities, when possible, to include more advanced risky play features such as the elevated play structure, slides, and spray features seen at Splash Island. These play elements inspire them to explore and develop the skills necessary in adulthood to make good choices and have fun. Life Floor promotes this risky play by encouraging children to play how they were meant to: without fear of falling or getting seriously injured. By providing a slip-resistant and cushioned safety surface, children are supported in their activities and are emboldened to create their own stories as they interact with each other and the features at Splash Island.
