ANDREW BELLE Splash Pad
Project Type: Splash Pad
Location: Dothan, AL
In 2020, we co-hosted our first ever Make a SPLASH! Contest with Inside Edge Safety Surfaces to award a municipality in the U.S. with an all-expenses-paid splash pad surface. Our intent in initiating this contest was to be able to uplift communities across the country each year with beautiful splash pad surfacing designs that add increased safety for residents.
When it was time to call our first-place winner, we called Kelly Stakelum, the Aquatics Manager at Dothan. Our team couldn’t wait to deliver the good news that they had won. The excitement in Kelly’s voice was evident and after she accepted, we proceeded with next steps to finalize the design and coordinate the installation.
As part of the design process, we collaborated with Kelly to include one of our new colors, Seafoam, as well as a custom logo to showcase Dothan’s pride. The process with our Studio Team was iterative and we ultimately landed on a vibrant 5-color square pattern featuring Ocean, Bluebird, Aviator, Limelight, and Seafoam.
The Grand Reopening Celebration of the Andrew Belle Community Splash Pad in Dothan, AL took place on May 27, 2021 – just prior to Memorial Day weekend. Many members of the local community attended the event to celebrate. The visible joy was evident on everyone’s faces as kids hopped, skipped, and ran across their new splash pad.
We are immensely thankful for the opportunity to give this deserving community a new Life Floor splash pad surface and hope that it’s enjoyed for many seasons to come. Thank you to Inside Edge Safety Surfaces for co-hosting this contest with us and for installation.
