YAWA Aquatic Centre
Project Type: Splash Pad and Multi-Level Play Structure
Location: Rosebud. Victoria. Australia
Yawa Aquatic Centre is an indoor, $37M, state-of-the-art recreation centre that opened in 2021 and offers a wide range of year-round aquatic, leisure, and wellness programs for people of all ages.
Prior to the installation of Life Floor, keeping the floor clean throughout the Aqua Play Zone proved difficult for facility staff. The pour-in-place surface contributed to significant health concerns for patrons due to extensive mould growth permeating the porous material. Exhaustive efforts to remove the mould were not successful, so Yawa Aquatic Centre decided to remove the entire pour-in-place surface and install Life Floor due to our product’s impervious, easy to clean nature.
Yawa Aquatic Centre boasts a playful beach theme complete with Waterplay spray fixtures, palm tree structures, and side wall graphics that reinforce this design. Our in-house Design Studio created a custom pattern based on our Montauk Theme to complement the existing layout of the space. Marine Inlays were included in the design to add interest and enhance the beach theme of the amenity. A thicker area of Life Floor was installed around the slide runout to increase cushioning and safety for this high-impact area.
Life Floor Australia and New Zealand contracted an accredited installer, Maurer Construction Tiling, to adjust the concrete sub-base to improve drainage, reduce water pooling, and install Life Floor at this beautiful centre.
