Water Playground
Town Beach
Designed to be all inclusive the Town Beach Water Playground meets access specifications so children of all abilities are able to participate in water play. Open from 8am to 5pm seven days a week the water playground consists of a misty twisty, whale tail sprayer, sneaky soakers, and a froggy-o sprayer. The water is activated when the user presses the start button causing it to run through a cycle. The cycle is then repeated and randomly set to activate different patterns when the start button is continued to be pressed.
The water is recycled and UV filtered in addition to being chlorinated. Broome's water playground contains the latest design elements to ensure the highest water quality is achieved.
