Roosevelt Park
The Challenge – Capture the nostalgia of a mid-20th Century water park with a modern design. Working with Williams Architects of Carol Stream, IL and the City of Glenview Department of R ecreation & Parks, Water Odyssey™ designed and manufactured the cupola structure and the interactive play elements including spray manifolds that are an integral part of the structure. The cupola also features Fountain People LED lighting.
Great Wolf Lodge
Great Wolf Mountain was created for Great Wolf Lodge to become the signature water feature for their resorts. This unique piece, hand sculpted by our lead artist, stands 30 feet high with an 11 foot diameter base. When the Great Wolf howls, a 40 foot diameter sheet of water cascades down the Wolf Mountain to the pool below.
Flick Park
The Challenge – Create a unique aquatic interactive game playing environment. Working with Williams Architects of Carol Stream, IL and the City of Glenview Department of Recreation & Parks, Water Odyssey™ helped design, then manufactured, equipment for a one of a kind installation. Sound bollards give play directions and children spray targets suspended from cantilevered arms over a pool.Competition is between the players on opposite sides of the pool. Feedback is received in both audio and visual forms (LED lights). Game winners celebrate and “losers” are sprayed by the play elements directly behind them.
Riverview Pool
The Challenge – Integrate Mississippi River icons – Lighthouses and Riverboats – into a community aquatic center. Working with the Designers and Engineers at Water’s Edge Aquatic Design LLC, Water Odyssey™ developed and manufactured a structural FRP housing around a modified Tidal Tank™ to create a Lighthouse to match actual local lighthouses. This exciting interactive play element incorporates sound, secondary spray manifolds, pulsing lighting, and a periodic 350 gallon, 360 degree splash dump. The custom Riverboat creates a playful splash from its paddle wheel while the front of the boat periodically turns over, dumping its load of water.
Mission Hill
The Challenge – Work to an artist’s vision of an aquatic playground with year-round sculptural appeal. Artist Ross Miller designed this unique installation featuring custom nozzles and bends. Water Odyssey™ formed these pieces of 316 stainless steel and finished them with our Luster Blast™ finish to create a soft glow. (Photographs by Ross Miller)
