Site amenities

Vortex Aquatic Structures

Vortex Aquatic Structures designs and manufactures aquatic play equipment: Splashpad zero-depth water play, the multi-level Elevations and PlayNuk structures, Water Journey, waterslides, the Dream Tunnel attraction, playable fountains, and the water management systems behind them.

Every project is custom designed with the company's sales and design teams, who work to the venue's goals and budget rather than selling a fixed catalog product. The Splashpad line alone offers more than 250 interactive features across 10 signature collections, and the company supports projects from planning through installation and maintenance.

Vortex was founded in 1995 in Montreal, where it introduced the Splashpad, and remains privately owned. It is headquartered in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, with regional offices in the United States and Europe, sales teams across Canada, the US and Spain, and a distribution network covering Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and Latin America. It reports more than 12,000 custom installations across 50 countries. Customers include parks and recreation departments and city councils on the municipal side, and waterparks, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, campgrounds, museums, retail centers, and cruise ships on the commercial side.

Pricing is quoted per project and is not published, though the site offers a cost guideline for municipal splash pads. For a campground or community, ask which local representative covers the territory and what the water management, code, and ongoing maintenance requirements will be.

Best for

Campground, RV resort, and community owners adding a splash pad or water play feature who want a custom design plus an installation and support network. Not a fit for a buyer looking for an off-the-shelf kit at a published price.
