Spraygrounds for Kids to Play in the Water

img

A spray ground is a relatively new concept in recreational water facilities. These facilities have unique design and construction features which are not covered by the existing public swimming pool regulations. The proposed standards are based on enforcement agency experience in responding to citizen concerns for this currently unregulated type of pool. Local recreational park districts and municipalities also desire standards so that their public can safely use these features. The standards proposed are to provide health and safety protection for the users of this type of public pool. This proposal seeks to establish new requirements for spray grounds that have become extremely popular over the past several years. The water features associated with spray grounds typically consist of water fountains, water sprays, dancing water jets, waterfalls, dumping buckets, shooting water cannons, or other such features on a sloped pad that does not allow ponding of water. Typically, a spray ground has a high bather load and a low volume of water. The public health risk associated with this type of use is significant and has been associated with several illness outbreaks around the country. The State of California boasts some of the safest spraygrounds in the nation thanks to new regulations.

Lakeview Park Fountain The fountain at Lakeview Park isn't just for looks. It is also an all ages interactive water feature where cooling your heels is encouraged. A cool way to beat the heat while taking in the beautiful lake view. You can feel good splashing that day away! The fountain is also a water conscious way to maintain Discovery Lake. A deep well feeds the fountain which in turn trickles into the lake that has had a history of evaporating away in drought years. Maintaining the Lake's water level also helps protect the lake's ecosystem.

Sacramento
In May 21, 2003 for the first time ever the City of Sacramento opened a unique water spray feature located at Gardenland Park at 310 Bowman Ave. The size of the water spray feature play area is 968 square feet. Seatwalls along the perimeter of the water spray area with shade trees have been built for parent supervision while children are utilizing the water spray feature. Designed to hold a maximum of 36 to 60 children the water spray feature consists of 12 in-ground spray nozzles. All the spray nozzles are built below grade to eliminate any above ground tripping hazards. The spray nozzles are programmed to shoot out water at different time intervals. The controller panel has the capacity to hold 20 different nozzle-spraying sequences, which increases the non-predictability of the spray feature system by keeping the children guessing on which spray nozzles will be activated next. No standing water will be on the ground while the water spray feature system is turned on. A drainage system has been built to carry away and re-circulate the water from the spray feature. Adjacent to the water spray feature is a plaza with shade trees and additional seating benches.
