PolySoft’s ongoing export success has seen the NSW-based company help delight children and adults in one of the Arabian Gulf’s most-loved city parks.

As part of the redesign of Abu Dhabi’s Mushrif Central Park, PolySoft has fused history, culture, safety and cool pleasure in a children’s water feature, with its heat and slip resistant surface aiding safe play in a city where summer temperatures can reach as high as the mid 40s on the degrees-Celsius scale.

Syed A. Wajid, General Manager of Tanseeq, the company that installed the children’s playground feature, says his team worked shifts of late-afternoon to midnight to lay the 186 metre² waterplay area, because it would have been hard to maintain surface levels in searing day-time heat.

A total of 10 colours of PolySoft granules were used to achieve three dominant colour zones, which Wajid says “is very clean and pleasing”.

The Mushrif Central Park development, which reopened in March after a two-year makeover, is the first project for which Tanseeq has used PolySoft.

Commenting on this, Wajid added “compared to standard rubberised flooring, PolySoft certainly is a more sophisticated product, which is more durable and colour stable owing to the use of high-quality resin binders and polyolefin granules.”

Part of the vision for the revitalised park -which also includes an outdoor performance area, informal areas for sport and recreation, and a botanic garden - was to promote an active lifestyle.

Amid the ultra-modern cityscape of Abu Dhabi, Mushrif Central Park is, according to Wajid “possibly the most advanced park in Abu Dhabi.”

PolySoft Chief Executive Ophelia Zhu says this prestigious environment highlights PolySoft’s many features and its ultimate flexibility., stating “PolySoft has shown its adaptability to different cultural and climatic environments in the Middle East, Asia, USA and Australia.

“While its safety and comfort features are foremost when it comes to playgrounds and pool areas, PolySoft’s vast colour spectrum is what allows it to express different aesthetics, whether inspired by desert hues, tropical waters or simply a sense of fun.”
