Two design projects by Waters Edge Aquatic Design were showcased in the 2024 Aquatic Design Portfolio published by Athletic Business.
Blue Springs, Missouri: Wildcat Aquatics Center | Athletic Business
Waters Edge teamed up with Hollis + Miller Architects to bring the Blue Springs High School Wildcats a brand new, state-of-the-art indoor competition pool to serve their growing swim team. Unveiled in 2023, the new facility elevates the swim meet experience with ample deck space, and more lap lanes and seating capacity than they had before.
Wichita, Kansas: Linwood Park Splash Pad
Waters Edge along with Landworks Studio work with the City of Wichita to convert a 1970s pool into an interactive, destination-style splash pad. The park embraces a mossy stone theme with a custom water wheel spray feature and Euroflex balls. The water wheel was designed to represent the Wichita Hydraulic Mill, a notable part of Wichita’s history. Although the historical hydraulic mill was demolished in 1901, Wichita still cherishes its history. The splash pad utilizes the same original bathhouse structure with a new recirculation system. The new design of the aquatic space allows community members to enjoy water play at no admission cost.
