Give Them an '80s Summer
No phones. No plans. Just play.
Remember when summers were all about green feet, epic water balloon showdowns, and turning the backyard into your own gnarly waterpark—with just a garden hose and a dream?
This summer, we’re throwin’ it back to the righteous days of the '80s—when fun was messy, magical, and totally screen-free. It’s time to crank up the nostalgia and let the next generation feel the splash of freedom we grew up with.
This summer, don't just grow up, Grow Down!
Waterplay splash pads are built to spark imagination, movement, and nonstop giggles. No rules. No schedules. Just sun-soaked, totally tubular adventures.
So grab your shades, pump up the jams, and help your kids grow down this summer, because the most bodacious memories? They happen in the splash zone.
Introducing Waterplay’s '80s Summer Adventure Guide, packed with rad ways to play like it’s 1985. We’re talkin’ backyard splash attacks, chalk art explosions, boombox dance parties… the whole shebang.
So grab your hair scrunchies, slap on some zinc, and grow down with us!
