Pioneer Park | Shaded Splashpad Revives Downtown Mesa By Vortex

Part of the third largest city in Arizona, the City of Mesa is committed to revitalizing park spaces and reclaiming it for families. The city wanted to include a new amenity that would serve as a focal architectural centerpiece and a place for families to enjoy. Its officials agreed on transforming Pioneer Park’s central plaza to include a Splashpad® . During the conception, shade was often mentioned by surveyed families. Therefore, the City designed shade that beautifully drapes over the Splashpad, giving users a break from the blistering sun. Pioneer Park has surpassed its goals, enhancing the feeling of security in the area and becoming a core component of community life downtown.

Testimonials

« It’s been a joy watching families interact with these water features. What really makes this design so unique is that it brings two unique elements to the table: during the day, it functions just like a Splashpad® but at night, it offers a dynamic light show, perfect for special events and community engagement. »

« That's really the idea of what we're trying to do with a lot of our park projects: create this intergenerational play experience so that parents are out there and in there, experiencing it with their children. »
