Project
is
a
“wet”
version
of
a
dry
playground.
Water
features
are
located
both
above
and
below
ground.
The
above
ground
features
are
colorful
structures
that
shoot,
spray
and
gush
water.
The
below
ground
elements
are
water
sprays,
jets
and
cascades
that
shoot
water
from
specially
designed
nozzles
buried
in
the
concrete.
The
spray
ground
is
controlled
by
a
computerized
control
system
that
choreographs
and
synchronizes
the
water
flow.
A
compact
storage
tank
and
small
filtration
system
allow
for
the
water
to
be
kept
clean
and
re-used
for
conservation
purposes.
The
project
was
completed
in
May
2003
and
is
enjoyed
by
hundreds
of
youngsters
of
all
ages
during
summer
recreational
and
after
school
programs,
weather
permitting.
