The City desired a multifunctional destination splash experience to maximize the value of their investment. The design team developed a concept of ‘The Cloud’: an artful and playful floating structure that distributed water in an iconic way, while providing shade for the pad and surrounding seating. The design team also worked with the splash pad features to ensure all elements could be easily maintained and removable during the ‘off-season’ – allowing the City to clear the pad to host events and performances during the winter months, doubling the usability of the plaza space.
