Water Play Equipment in North Dakota

Designing water play for North Dakota isn’t just about building something that will last – it’s about creating a place that’s fun, inclusive and can handle the wild weather this state throws our way. At Vortex, we aim to bring a splash of creativity to public spaces that’s fun in the summer and can withstand those long North Dakota winters. Want to revamp a park in Fargo, upgrade a campground near Devils Lake or add some fun to a hotel in Grand Forks? Our water play solutions bring a real value to the table – they bring energy to a space and put smiles on peoples faces.

What Really Sets Our North Dakota Projects Apart

Whether it’s a small town in the middle of nowhere or a bustling hub of activity, our water play equipment is designed to cater to the specific needs of the people of North Dakota. Not only do we engineer our solutions to withstand the huge temperature swings this state is known for – we also want to encourage visitors to get more engagement, keep families coming back and increase the bottom line for your facility.

Solutions that are Tailored to Your Place and Your People

Given the mix of small towns, tourist spots and growing suburban areas in North Dakota, every project is a little different. We work with you to design water play zones that fit the local vibe, take into account the people who will be using them and make sure they can be maintained easily in the long term.

Water Play Solutions by Venue

We collaborate closely with North Dakota municipalities, tourism boards, and private developers to bring play to life in many forms:

Municipal Parks: From Minot to Bismarck, our Splashpad® and Vortex Water Management Solutions Products help city planners develop safe, sustainable water play environments that require low staffing and minimal maintenance.

Aquatic Centers: Vortex features are often used in tandem with traditional pools to serve toddlers and non-swimmers with engaging, shallow-play alternatives.

Hotels, Resorts & Campgrounds: Water play transforms guest stays into experiences. Families are more likely to book, and return, when a kid-friendly splash area is part of the amenity list.

Waterparks & Amusement Parks: Our Elevations™ & PlayNuk™ platforms offer thrilling multi-level experiences that complement larger slides and pool zones.

Retail & Commercial Spaces: Malls and open-air plazas use our Playable Fountains Products to add interactive features that increase dwell time and create shareable moments.

Real Play, Real Impact: Localized Results

In North Dakota, a successful water play project must balance practicality and joy. Here’s how we’ve helped others do just that:

Dickinson Community Parks added an interactive spray loop that not only kept kids active but reduced water usage with SmartFlow™ Logics.
Resorts near Lake Sakakawea integrated themed splash features that tied into their natural surroundings and enhanced their marketing appeal.
Town planners in Jamestown turned a vacant corner lot into a community magnet through a custom-designed Vortex splash zone with vibrant colors and tactile features.

These stories aren’t just about installations, they’re about community pride, revitalization, and long-term value.
