Incorporating Nature Play is a new direction in water park design; combining elements of aquatic play with nature play to provide a more engaging, challenging and diverse play experience.

A water playground that utilises elements of Nature Play, or ‘Nature Splash Park’, serves as both a water playground and nature play space and offers year round use with the option to disable the water play functions during the cooler months.

Researchers at the University of WA have found that natural playgrounds provide children with more opportunities than typical pre-formed playgrounds to develop gross-motor skills.
