Since opening late last year, the refreshed children’s aquatic play space at Dreamworld's Ocean Parade precinct has proven to be one of its biggest drawcards.

PicoPlay’s design for the retheming concept for the well-established and well-loved area included integration of new waterplay features and a nautical theme as part of a future master plan. 

The refresh project extends into Ocean Parade precinct including a reimagination of the bumper cars attraction and Serpent Slayer thrill ride, with the addition of a themed splash zone to help younger guests cool down in the warmer months.

The design was executed in such a way that the basic thematic elements were fabricated off site allowing the base construction and thematic elements to proceed in parallel not consecutively.

Dreamworld selected Life Floor as a key component of the project, with the soft fall surfacing leaders providing a colourful base in three shades consistent with the undersea/seaside themed design.

Life Floor partner Grassports Australia (QLD) installed 168 square metres of Ripple 2.0 texture floor in the colours Ocean, Aviator and Turquoise.

PicoPlay explained that the “result is a bright colourful fun play area now fully integrated with the surrounds of the existing park all completed within an extremely short time frame.”
