The customer requested an expansion of the existing swimming pool to accommodate a higher bather load, ensuring it could serve more visitors at peak times due to its growing popularity.
In collaboration with A&M Architects, we were commissioned to design and construct a bespoke indoor splash pad within a newly developed building at the popular Tattershall Lakes holiday park. This innovative project posed a unique set of challenges, particularly due to the raised flooring system—a feature that ultimately allowed us to seamlessly integrate water drainage and mechanical systems beneath the play surface.
Taking inspiration from the natural beauty of the surrounding park, our team developed a vibrant, nature-themed splash pad that brings the outdoors inside. The space is filled with charming character features such as Freddy Frog, Danny Duck, and more, sparking imagination and storytelling in young visitors.
A key attraction within the splash pad is the 1-metre Slide Hut. Children ascend themed steps before sliding down into a custom-designed wetpour "lake", crafted with textured and coloured surfacing to emulate a real water feature. This creates a sensory-rich experience that encourages active, creative play.
To further enhance the environment, we included:
Themed fence panels for safe, visually appealing boundaries
Mushroom stools that double as playful seating and stepping elements
A slow-draining paddle zone that extends water interaction time
A variety of interactive water features, textures, and heights to cater to all age groups
Every detail of the design was carefully considered to ensure the space was not only fun and engaging, but also cohesive with the park’s natural aesthetic and the building’s modern architecture.
The end result is a fully immersive indoor aquatic play area that fits perfectly within its environment—offering families a unique and memorable water play experience, rain or shine.
Upon completion, we conducted a thorough independent play inspection to identify and address any potential safety risks and ensure the area conforms to EN 1176/77 Playground standards.
