Our Backyard Splash Park!
Posted in Family on May 25th, 2008 by adminSo, when we goto Port Discovery, they have this exhibit called “WOW - Wonders of Water”. This exhibit has a really neat feature where they have a low pressure water flow and varying lengths of PVC pipe, elbows, tee’s, etc. Its a blast every time we go in there. So I decided to build one for the kids, here it is:
I sketched out a rough diagram of what I wanted and took the kids to Home Depot to pick up the parts. About an hour later we returned with all the supplies needed to build our own “Backyard Splash Park!” I built the frame with 1″ PVC and the connections for the kids to play with are built out of 1/2″ PVC. I purchased a pond pump from Lowes to feed the water and “Tada!” we have a self contained re-circulating “Backyard Splash Park!” The best part about this contraption is that we aren’t wasting tons water in the back yard, the kids can just play with the water from the pool.
