European Record Set With Interative Splash Park

Sun Safe Play and Hippo Leisure Products have completed a revolutionary new pirate themed, fully interactive splash park for Flamingoland, Yorkshire which is currently the largest interactive splash park in Europe.

Set in 375 acres in the North Yorkshire countryside…children can now take full advantage of the awesome summer addition to the popular attraction park.

The project was awarded by Nick Buckley of Flamingoland and led by Greg Seale, Managing Director of Sun Safe Play Ltd.  Together with Andy Taylor of Hippo Leisure products, the flamboyant pirate design was bought to life.

Covering an area of 1300 sq metres, a total of 38 interactive water jets and themed features have been installed in a colourful, vibrant surround.  Bright palm trees with tipping coconuts compliment rainbow arch features and splash jet technology.  The dedicated toddler area is home to an unique hopscotch pad where children can chase the water jets up the hopscotch pad whilst trying to keep their feet dry! 

The innovative layout of the water jets cleverly surround the impressive life-size Pirate Ship centrepiece.  Themed canons shoot soft columns of foaming water from the deck.  Pressure pads set into the floor trigger water jets from a crow’s nest 8 metres up on the ship’s mast.

At a whopping 10 metres long, the pirate ship was constructed using Hippo’s unique soft-to-touch play system.  This technology was chosen for its water resistant, UV stable and chemical resistant finish. 

Finally the entire area was treated with an unique anti-microbial protection system called Aquatrol to ensure the best possible defence against the growth of bacteria, biofilm and other algae related problems.

Now fully operationally, the Splash Park is welcoming new visitors to Flamingoland.
