Who

Nature was the driving theme when selecting the Waterway elements. The new layout and features were designed for an experience typically associated with those under age 10 and consists of two sections:

  • One section features a shallow streambed for the youngest users to sit and manipulate the flowing water. This feature provides a space for them away from older, more active children.
  • The other section contains sprays and jets, allowing for interactive play. Children can work together to cover nozzles to create a larger “gusher” effect.

Cost

Included with garden admission
