Trailhead Park Splash Pad
Project Type: Splash Pad
Location: Winter Haven, FL
The City of Winter Haven, FL built the splash pad at Trailhead Park in 2016. The city opened it originally with a concrete finish for the surface and they've resurfaced it since about 3-4 times with different products. After experiencing some slip and fall incidents, they tried a rubberized paint with a sand-like substrate in it; however, injuries were still problematic. The aquatics division performed a significant amount of research as they searched for the best solution until MaryAnn Eifert, Life Floor's East Coast Regional Manager, reached out over FRPA's E-Connect and introduced them to Life Floor. The committee at Winter Haven ultimately opted for this safety surfacing, pleased with the fact that Life Floor met all of the requirements they needed to solve while also being certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 50.

High Tide is Life Floor’s most popular aquatic Theme. It pairs well with sea-animal life and bubble inlays. It has high UV-resistance, which makes this Theme perfect for outdoor applications including splash pads such as the one shown here at Trailhead Park. High Tide using Square Pattern 301 is Life Floor’s most affordable pre-set Theme and Pattern combination. The multi-color design provides a colorful surfacing solution for facilities while also allowing for ease of maintenance.
