A Splash Pad Adds Big Value To Any PoolScape

A splash pad is a great feature that can be added to any pool design. They add a ton of pool area that can be used for tanning, hanging out with friends, or a place for littles to be on their own and enjoy. It's a place that the family dog will have an absolute blast running through as well!

With the recent development of 'Zero Entry' fiberglass pools, many families have shifted to this beach entry concept as a way to create similar spaces. The beach entry can serve those purposes and look really nice. Being that it is a part of the main pool, it can be covered under a safety cover quite easily with no special modifications. The cost per square foot of pool however can be much more significant for less usable space thus decreasing the overall value in a beach entry design.

A separate splash pad on the other hand does not take any of your pool real-estate away and adds overall poolscape square footage. Splash pads / tanning ledges also feature flat bottoms making lounge chairs and tanning activities much easier than a zero-entry pool. If you're a fan of warmer water you're in luck! A standalone splash pad collects heat energy from the sun better and is always warmer than the pool. From a design perspective, a splash pad offers depth, personality, and a ton of class to your new outdoor living space.

If your back yard has an elevation change that needs worked into the design, consider incorporating a spill over splash pad. A spillway or sheer decent, is a fantastic pool feature and serves as a way to overcome an elevation problem. A large piece of pool ownership is about being next to the pool and enjoying it aesthetically. A splashpad will bring tremendous practical and aesthetic value to your new pool for years to come.
