A splash pad that grips wet feet and stays cool at noon

It is the same poured in place system used on commercial playgrounds. On a splash pad the job it does is grip and temperature rather than fall protection, because most pads have nothing to fall from. Where your pad carries climbing or tipping features, we set the depth to their fall height the same way we do on a playground.

Wet concrete and smooth tile get slick exactly when children run on them. Bare slab also reads 155 degrees on a 91 degree afternoon where our light blend reads 99. Painted and stamped finishes chalk and peel where water runs every day. Poured rubber is textured, seamless and renewed over the same base instead of torn out.

In most cases yes. If the pad sounds solid we prep and pour straight over it with no demolition. Where it sounds hollow those areas are ground back to sound concrete first, because anything laid over a failing layer fails with it. We sound the pad during the free on-site visit.

Most splash pads take 1 to 3 days including prep, then 24 to 48 hours of curing before the water goes back on.

The wear layer is EPDM granule, which is the grade used outdoors because it holds colour under UV. On light and white blends we use the clear aliphatic binder so the surface does not yellow. Every B-Cool splash pad carries a 2 year workmanship warranty, and what happens after that is set by the pad underneath, which is why we sound it before we quote.

Yes. The poured surface is permeable, so water goes through it rather than sitting on top. The pad keeps its own drains and slope, and the rubber does not block them. Because there are no seams and no tile joints, there is nowhere for standing water to sit and nothing for a bare foot to catch.

From 8 dollars per sq ft installed. Eight is a sound flat pad, a simple shape and one standard colour. Curved edges, steps, tight spots around jets, multi colour zoning and custom patterns move it up inside the 8 to 15 range. We measure and put the number in writing before you pay anything.
