Gappsi Long Island, NY
Custom splash pad water playground is a new product at Gappsi Long Island, NY. A splash pad is an immersive, zero-depth aquatic water attraction that provides endless fun and can be installed in various locations. It is ideal for city parks, RV parks, HOA community parks, apartment complexes, hotels, resorts, amusement parks, child care facilities, and more. Splash pads feature an array of spray jets and above-ground spray elements, creating an interactive and refreshing play environment for all ages. Depending on your requirements, they can operate on recirculation, freshwater/pass-through, or pool tie-in systems.
Several features and different water sensations can be added as an immersive, zero-depth aquatic play area. The splash pad equipment attracts a broader demographic, boosts engagement, prolongs stays, and increases return visits. Gappsi’s splash pad solutions are also sustainable; they conserve water with their state-of-the-art water management systems and are built to last season after season.
Let Gappsi help transform your imagination into new dimensions in water play with dynamic, custom-designed water parks that deliver adventure, visual excitement, and imaginative fun. We offer a full line of water play equipment, including above-ground and below-ground sprayground/splash park features, slides, and structures.
Kiddie Pool Turned Splash Pad
Gappsi recently redesigned a kiddie pool area at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn Harbor, NY. We removed the old kiddie pool and replaced it with a new, fun, and exciting splash pad for the kids. The universal design project offers form and function that are inherently accessible to everyone without modifying the items to be accessible.
The New Water Playground – Splash Pads
Splash pads, or water playgrounds, can be a fun and safe pool alternative. They can be built more quickly than pools, and they offer many benefits, including:
- Accessibility – Splash pads are accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Their level surfaces and sensory aspects can make them fun for children and families with disabilities.
- Safety – Splash pads are safer than pools because they have little or no standing water. As a result, there is no risk of drowning. Motion sensors often trigger the nozzles that spray water, and the decks are usually textured or surfaced with non-slip materials.
- Cost – Water playgrounds can fit most communities’ budgets because they have lower capital costs. They also reduce maintenance requirements more than pools and require less support infrastructure, like changing rooms and admission gates.
- Water – Water playgrounds can be flexible about water use and can even recycle water back into the spray mechanism to conserve water.
- Design – Splash pads can offer various design features, and you can easily change the spray features to appeal to the area or time of year.
- Socialization – Splash pads can bring communities together and provide a fun, interactive space for socialization.
Does a Splash Pad Need a Pump
Some splash pads use pumps, while others can use water pressure from a garden hose. Most splash pads use low-flow recirculating pumps to provide a continuous water supply. The pumps fill an underground storage tank with water, which is filtered and disinfected before being sprayed onto the play area. The water then drains back into the tank to be reused. This system is good for larger splash pads or regions where water conservation is essential.
The other option is a flow-through system. These systems use the same water pressure as your tap to power the water features. The water drains into the municipal sewer system. Flow-through systems have low up-front costs because they don’t require pumps, filters, or other equipment, but ongoing costs are associated with using fresh water. Some backyard splash pad kits can use water pressure from a garden hose, which can reduce maintenance, too.
The new splash pad at Engineers Country Club used the flow-through system without a pump, which made more sense. Without pumps, you do not need electricity or mechanical parts. The water is fed just the water pressure from the water line.
The water is used and sent to a drain. It was calculated that using the water without filtering or adding chemicals and chlorine to maintain the water system was cheaper. In addition to the cost savings by not using a pump, permits were not required, and no additional plumbing was needed.
We built this very functional splash pad for the club simultaneously with the gunite pool. Kids love it; it is like a miniature water park. For the floor, we used rubberized material mixed with resin, which makes it very hard but soft to walk on.
Synthetic Turf For Splash Pad Area
Gappsi installed all synthetic turf surrounding the splash pad. Artificial turf can be a good choice for areas near splash pads because it can be safer, more durable, and lower maintenance than natural grass:
- Safety – Synthetic turf is slip-resistant and cushioned for bare feet, helping reduce the risk of injury. It is also universally accessible, allowing wheelchairs and other mobility devices to roll easily.
- Durability – Synthetic turf lasts for years and requires little maintenance. Unlike natural grass, it can be laid in any shape or design and is not susceptible to design challenges.
- Drainage – Synthetic turf is engineered to be free-draining, so it can dry quickly without becoming muddy or slippery. This allows the surface to be used sooner than natural grass.
- Pests – Synthetic turf can create a pest-free environment, which is safer to walk on and reduces the risk of summer bugs.
It is a lovely and functional miniature water park. The system goes in a circle and then shuts down. Then, the kids can just hit the button, which will go through another cycle. This is the latest miniature water park by Gappsi for the kids to enjoy. I am sure even grown-ups will come and make use of this. This is the newest park water feature built by Gappsi in Roslyn, NY.

We will blend it in with the existing Cambridge patio. The color staining for this backyard in Smithtown NY has been completed.
The homeowners have changed the color of the backyard to be more gray-toned throughout the years. The existing old patio did not match the style, so they decided to color stain the pavers to blend in. This color that we used is also a sealer that stains the stones. This is the latest stone staining project done by Gappsi in Smithtown, NY.

Can a poor application of driveway sealer be corrected? Depending on the severity of the problem, it may require saturation, aggressive scrubbing, and repeated applications to re-emulsify the sealer.
Whiting happens when your pavers have been sealed with a xylene or acrylic (solvent-based) sealer or sealed during imperfect weather conditions or application. The trapped moisture is caused by hydrostatic pressure, which brings the moisture up through the pores of the pavers and traps it under the sealer. Once your pavers have “turned white”, there is only one way to rectify the problem. The sealer must be completely stripped off and re-sealed with the correct type of sealer.

What type of sand material fills the joints between pavers?
What is the best sealer for concrete pavers?
The sealer creates a very strong bond to the paving stone surface and over the sand particles in between the joints.
The best sealers for paving stones are water-based urethanes
Gappsi brought back the color of the stones to look better than they did when they were originally installed. The colors are very vibrant and uniform now that the sealer is applied correctly. You can see the color variations of the Bayberry Blend, the shades of gray, beige, and peach color even after 20 years.
