Project Update:

Construction is just around the corner! We’re excited to announce that this project will soon be going out to market for contractor bidding. A finalized design package, including renderings and reference photos, will be shared shortly as we complete the final touches. The splash pad will feature a forest-inspired theme, designed to bring together elements of nature and water to create a vibrant, engaging play space for the community.

Project Description:
The new Spray Pad at Lions Can-Amera Park aims to provide diverse recreational opportunities for the neighborhood. Located off Saginaw Parkway on the park's north side, adjacent to Clemens Mill Public School, this spray pad is ideally situated for easy access.

Accessibility and Inclusivity

The proposed spray pad is designed to meet high standards of accessible and inclusive play, creating an engaging environment for people of all abilities and ages. With a range of water elements catering to different sensory and interactive play styles, it ensures enjoyment for young children, teens, and adults alike. The spray pad features hard-surface concrete pathways for easy navigation with mobility aids and provides strategically placed benches and tables as gathering spots for families and caregivers. This design encourages both active and sensory play, fostering an inclusive and welcoming experience for the entire community.

Additional Features

Hillside Viewing Area
A gently sloped hillside adjacent to the spray pad will provide a unique, elevated vantage point where families can relax and enjoy a scenic, top-down view of the play area. This natural seating space, complete with shaded areas, allows for comfortable extended stays and makes it easy for families and caregivers to observe their children. The hillside enhances the spray pad's inviting atmosphere, offering both active play and leisurely enjoyment in a beautifully landscaped setting.

New Shade Structure
A thoughtfully designed shade structure will provide respite from the sun, making it possible for visitors to comfortably enjoy the spray pad throughout the day.

New Seating Features
Newly installed benches and tables will create convenient, comfortable spots for families and friends to gather, relax, and enjoy the surroundings.
