Rockhampton Council announces transformation of wet play area at Southside Memorial Pools

With the weather warming up, Rockhampton Regional Council has unveiled a transformation of the wet play area at its Southside Memorial Pool.

Advising that the reopening will be welcome news to families, Rockhampton Parks Sport and Public Spaces Councillor, Cherie Rutherford commented “these works were carried out during the cooler months to minimise any disruptions, but I am sure our returning visitors will be happy with the improvements

“The new soft fall surface not only looks fantastic but it is now much safer for the kiddies to play on.

“We have also given the play equipment a cut and polish to really bring it back to life.”

Installing the soft fall surface saw the removal of the existing worn out surface and the installation of Life Floor in three colours with the work undertaken by Grassports Australia (QLD).

Noting that the improvements were much needed and will extend the life of the facility, Rockhampton Communities and Heritage Councillor Drew Wickerson, added “the existing soft fall product had come to the end of its life and the new product was chosen after some extensive research.

“We wanted to make sure that the new soft fall material was a far better product - improving safety and longevity of the facility.

“The product we have installed will not only last much longer but it has superior anti slip properties - making it much safer as well.”

Life Floor is currently installed a new 720 metre² splash pad at Wet ‘n’ Wild Gold Coast, the most complicated design ever undertaken by Life Floor.
