Zero-depth, no lifeguard
Flush jets and ground geysers — water play with no standing water, and far lower risk and supervision load than any pool.
Splashpads for Active, Curriculum-Linked Water Play
Zero-depth water play gives a school the upside of a pool — gross-motor, sensory and outdoor-science learning — without the depth risk, the lifeguards or the compliance load.
We zone the pad by age band, design the surfacing to fall-height standards, and document the risk-benefit rationale your inspection team needs.
Key enhancements
What we deliver for school splashpads.
Age-banded zoning
Gentle sprays and tactile panels for EYFS toddlers; geysers, tipping buckets and challenge features for primary — clearly zoned and signed.
Sensory and EYFS-aligned
Cause-and-effect panels and varied spray textures support sensory regulation and early-years exploration — water as a learning material.
Doubles as outdoor science
Flow, pressure and cause-and-effect features become a living resource for fluids, forces and the water cycle.
Safety-engineered surfacing
Non-slip, EN 1177 fall-height-rated surfacing with drainage designed in, and the risk-benefit assessment documented for inspection.
Water-wise to run
Closed-loop recirculation and UV keep running costs and water use low — sustainability the school can put in its newsletter.
Certified surfacing by Polysoft
The pad is poured in seamless Polysoft wet-pour: impact zones third-party certified to EN 1177, ASTM F1292 and AS/NZS 4422 fall-height standards, an anti-slip splash zone, and a flush, joint-free finish that rolls smoothly for wheelchairs and walkers — so SEND learners take part too.

Why choose us
Why schools choose Leka Studio for splashpads.
Curriculum-led design
We start from your age bands and learning goals, then build the pad — not the other way round.
Compliance documented
EN 1176 / EN 1177 and ASTM aquatic-play guidance, with inspection-ready risk-benefit paperwork.
SEND-inclusive
Wheelchair-height interactive panels and graduated challenge so every learner can take part.
Phased to term time
Major works scheduled into break windows, pre-fabricated where possible to compress on-site time.
Education FAQ
Common questions for this scope.
How is a splashpad safer than a school pool?
It is zero-depth — no body of standing water to drown in — which removes the pool depth risk and the heavy lifeguard requirement.
Which age bands can share one pad?
We zone gentle EYFS features apart from higher-energy primary features, with clear signage and sight-lines, so one pad can serve the whole school by timetable.
Does it work in the monsoon?
It is outdoor water play already; with good drainage and surfacing it is usable across most of the academic year, and the plant winterises simply out of season.
How does the surfacing meet safety and accessibility standards?
We pour Polysoft wet-pour rubber: impact areas are independently certified to EN 1177:2005 (and ASTM F1292-13 / AS-NZS 4422:2016) for critical fall height, the splash zone is anti-slip wet and dry, and the surface drains fast and stays cooler underfoot. Because it cures seamless and flush, there are no trip joints — wheelchairs and walkers cross it easily, keeping the pad inclusive for SEND learners.
