Taking only 3 months to design and construct, the Exmouth water playground was completed on time, within budget and totally compliant with WA Health Department regulations. It officially opened in July 2013 with more than 500 visitors on its first day.
The expansive 450m2 aquatic faciility includes custom-made fibreglass animals including spouting turtles, dolphins and a magnificient humpback whale as its centrepiece, along with a a boat feature based on the Pearl Luggers of old which projecs water from the mast and rails as well as purpose-built cannons set on each side. The park also boasts a unique, hand-forged 120m2 cave constructed from 140 tonnes of concrete and carved to emulate the local Cape Range. It features sensored mist sprays and cascading water over non-slip steps that lead to the play area with fossilised fauna and flora moulded into its walls.

Cue Water Park - SILVER MEDAL WINNER 2009 SPASA AWARDS
In late 2008, Water Features by Design successfully tendered to design, manufacture and install an interactive Water park in Cue, Western Australia.
The Shire of Cue required a fun, safe, interactive environment where local children could cool off in the sweltering summer months. The facility also needed to be low maintenance and compliant with relevant Health Department regulations.
In just two trips, each five days long, with a six week break over the Christmas period for the concrete to cure, this award-winning park was completed on budget and weeks ahead of the client’s deadline.
The parts and components were all custom-designed to suit the client’s specification including a spraying daisy, overhead shower, ground spouts, water canons, spraying palms and arches.

The Carnarvon Water Park was built on a very tight budget and extremely difficult geographical conditions with the high water table and excessive winds. This is a good example of a park that opted against the usual inclusion of shade sails and coloured conrete or soft-fall rubber flooring, yet remains a fully functional, interactive water park that includes a triple bucket spiller, daisy shower, spraying arch, duelling cannons, shower head and spraying palm. It's beach-side location makes it a firm favourite with loca children.

Little Aussies Childcare Centre
The client wanted an area that could be used not only for water play during the summer months, but as a servicable play area during the winter as well. This required installation of a non-slip, all-weather flooring suitable for both wet and dry activity.
The Water Fun! area includes a number of interactive features such as push-button
fountains along with a series of timed water spouts for random
jets of water - perfect
for adding that extra element of fun and surprise for kids
of all ages. The area needed
to be quite compact
to fit within the centre's outdoor space
and does not require supervision by a
lifeguard as the water doesn't pool at a depth
of more than a centimetre.
