Waterplay Solutions Corp., a global leader in aquatic play headquartered in Kelowna, B.C., took home the Leading Edge Award at the World Waterpark Association’s (WWA) annual symposium in Orlando for its outstanding work on Sun World Hà Nam Waterpark in Vietnam.  

WWA’s Leading Edge Award recognizes innovation and leadership that push the boundaries of creativity, technology, and experience in the water attractions industry. 

“We’re incredibly proud to be recognized with the WWA Leading Edge Award for our work at Sun World Hà Nam,” said Jill White, President of Waterplay. “This project embodies everything Waterplay stands for: innovation, collaboration, and the power of play to transform communities. Together with our partners, we created an immersive aquatic experience that celebrates Vietnam’s culture while showcasing our commitment to safe, inclusive, and joy-filled design. This recognition is a testament to our team’s creativity and passion for bringing world-class aquatic play to life around the globe.”  

Spanning 10 hectares, Sun World Hà Nam Waterpark features dozens of water slides and more than 10 themed complexes. Designed to delight visitors of all ages and abilities, the Waterplay splash pad brings families together through interactive and imaginative play, built with innovation, durability, and decades of fun. Towering favourites such as the Mega Soaker, Ogopogo, and Poly Palm Coco deliver big splashes and excitement, while gentle, sensory-rich elements like the Basin, Fun-Brella, Sand Stones, and ground sprays create engaging play experiences for younger visitors. 

Proudly Canadian-owned and manufactured, Waterplay combines local craftsmanship with world-class innovation to deliver exceptional quality, and fun, joyful spaces to communities both locally and around the world. Winning this award reinforces Waterplay’s reputation as a leading manufacturer of aquatic play features, and demonstrates the company’s continued investment in accessible, inclusive, user-centric design.
