“We are extremely pleased with our Vortex Splashpads. The City of Claremore added our second Splashpad last year and the children of our community have enjoyed them immensely. The Splashpads have been the best and most popular additions to our park system in years.”
JOE KAYS, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION │ CITY OF CLAREMORE, OKLAHOMA
“We were looking for an alternative to our current aquatic facilities and a Splashpad was the way to go. It has been a desire of the community for several years and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Power Play and Vortex did a great job on the equipment, colors and overall appeal. It has definitely been the talk of the town!”
CRAIG DISHMAN, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION │ CITY OF EDMOND, OKLAHOMA
“It took a lot of hard work, but when we turned on the water and saw how happy the kids were running and playing in the Splashpad, it made it all worth it. We are so grateful to everyone who loves this Town and donated money for this special project!”
LEE ANN TURNER, SPLASHPAD COMMITTEE │ TOWN OF AMES, OKLAHOMA
“Our community of Lee’s Summit, MO (pop. 92,000) is very enthusiastic about our first Splashpad that will be installed in Miller J Fields Park during the summer of 2015 as part of a $850,000 park renovation. Vortex and Power Play have been very helpful and responsive through the entire process including helping my planning and design staff better understand how Splashpad systems work, understanding the types of operating systems, and selecting equipment that meets our site conditions, specifications, and budget parameters. I believe our park patrons will be very pleased with the final product after it is installed this summer and we hope to be doing other Splashpads in the near future to complement our park system.”
STEVE CASEY, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARK PLANNING & CONSTRUCTION │ CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI
“The Village started fundraising for the Splashpad about 9 years ago by putting on a Fall Festival for children in our area. Over the last 9 years, the City managed to raise $45,000 from festival proceeds and from miscellaneous donations. However, we were a long way off until Love’s Travels Stops helped us to make this become a reality with an $80,000 donation. We can’t thank Love’s enough for the help in making this exciting project happen. The children will be beneficiaries of this new park and will finally be able to enjoy it starting this summer.”
BRUCE STONE, CITY MANAGER │ CITY OF THE VILLAGE, OKLAHOMA
“This is a great accomplishment for the Parks Department and the City of Benton and we couldn’t be any prouder.”
JOHN ECKART, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION │ CITY OF BENTON, ARKANSAS
“Bentley Park Splashpad is the first of its kind for the City of Bixby and has proven to be an overwhelming success. The Splashpad is our most popular recreational activity with kids and parents. During the summer we will have 75 to 150 people daily using the Splashpad and playground.”
DON CASH, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION │ CITY OF BIXBY, OKLAHOMA
“Our Splashpad has made a tremendous impact on our community. It has created a sense of vibrancy and activity within the municipality and has become a focal point for promoting our community.”
MARTIN TUCKER, CITY MANAGER │ CITY OF SKIATOOK, OKLAHOMA
“We are extremely happy with our Vortex Splashpad. The citizens of Bartlesville are glad to have something new and exciting. The kids, of course, love it. All you have to do is visit the Splashpad for 5 minutes and hear the kids squealing and giggling and you can tell it was money well spent.”
BROOKE COX, PARKS & RECREATION PLANNER │ CITY OF BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA
“Visitors to the Splashpad® come from other communities and even other states. It is not unusual to have 3 or 4 bus loads of children visit the Splashpad® daily.”
DEBBIE BOTTOROFF, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER │ CITY OF GROVE, OKLAHOMA
