A committee comprised of Village and resident representatives decided
upon a spray park with a flow through water system. This system takes
water from a water main and runs it through the water features and
drains the water to a sanitary sewer. Another style system filters,
disinfects, and recirculates water. This type conserves water and
delivers it at a higher temperature, but is more complicated to operate.
The pool was converted to a spray pad facility by filling it with sand
and installing a water supply and drain piping in the old pool. Concrete
pads were placed to support the water feature bases and then a broom
finish concrete slab was placed over the entire 75' x 45' area. The
various water features were then installed along with a valve controller
system. The water features spray at random and are turned on when a
child presses an activation post.
