Keep the fun flowing: why leisure centre maintenance should be a priority

Children’s pools and water play areas are some of the most popular features in leisure centres and holiday parks. Slides, splash features, and interactive water play take on an important role in development of young ones, providing them with tactile and sensory play that enhance physical and social skills. When offering these spaces to children, it is vital that they are properly cared for with regular maintenance and servicing.

There is no time like the present when it comes to booking in your winter maintenance.  Ensuring that your facility is as safe as it is fun is essential for protecting both your business and your community of members.

Health and hygiene

Often integral in a community, the children’s pool and play features provide entertainment to numerous families on a daily basis. An area so frequented by young children needs to be undoubtedly safe and clean, with every surface and fixture regularly checked and maintained.  Loose tiles and broken play features can quickly lead to much larger issues if not repaired immediately.

Prevent downtime

Regular servicing can prevent large issues from arising in the future. Neglecting minor issues such as need for regrouting and filter changes can lead to larger and more costly repairs further along the line. This could mean the difference between a few days of disruption, and a much lengthier shutdown, ultimately leading to a loss in revenue.

Enhance customer experience

Families are much more likely to return to a leisure centre that focuses on safety and aesthetics. Clean and visually pleasing spaces offer a positive atmosphere that children and parents feel comfortable in. By updating chipped paint and outdated designs, this keeps the facility feeling fresh and cared for, which is reflected onto customers.

Flume refurbishment

Water slides are a key player when it comes to attracting customers, but extensive use can lead to wear and tear over the years. Flumes are robust and last many years, but the aesthetics can become tired over time; outdated designs or signs of wear and tear can be quickly eliminated in short time frames to keep visual appeal drawing customers in.
