Splash Pads Australia

Make summer play easy with our range of splash pads for kids. Designed for refreshing backyard fun, splash pads create a shallow water play area where children can run, splash and enjoy cooling water without the depth of a traditional pool.

Our range includes kids splash pads, sprinkler play mats and inflatable water play designs in a variety of sizes, colours and themes. They are ideal for warm days, outdoor play and families looking for a simple way to add water fun to the backyard.

Kids Splash Pads for Backyard Water Play

A backyard splash pad can turn an ordinary lawn into a fun summer play area. Many models connect to a garden hose and spray water through built-in jets around the edge, creating a shallow splash zone for children to move, play and cool down.

Splash pads are particularly suited to families wanting active water play without filling a deeper inflatable swimming pool.

Sprinkler Splash Pads

Sprinkler splash pads combine a shallow play mat with water jets or spray features. Depending on the model, water may spray from around the perimeter or from different sections of the pad to create an interactive play area.

Water spray height and intensity may vary depending on the product design and household water pressure, so always check the individual product instructions before use.

Splash Pads for Toddlers & Younger Kids

Some splash pads are designed with younger children in mind, providing a shallow area for supervised water play. Their low-profile design can make them appealing for toddlers and younger kids who enjoy sprinklers, splashing and sensory water activities.

Always check the recommended age for the individual product and provide close adult supervision whenever children are playing in or around water.

Easy Summer Fun at Home

Splash pads offer a convenient way to add water play to the backyard without permanently changing your outdoor space. Many models can be set up when needed, connected to a hose and packed away again after use.

This makes them a practical option for weekends, school holidays and hot summer afternoons when children want a quick way to cool down and play outside.

Choosing the Right Splash Pad

When comparing splash pads, consider the age of the children, the available outdoor space and the size of the play area you want. Smaller splash mats may suit compact backyards, while larger designs can provide more room for siblings or friends to play together.

Check the overall dimensions, recommended age, hose connection requirements and included accessories before ordering. Product features can vary between models.

Splash Pads for Small & Large Backyards

Splash pads are available in a range of sizes, making them suitable for many different outdoor spaces. Compact models can work well in smaller yards, while larger sprinkler pads provide more space for shared water play.

Measure the intended setup area before purchasing and allow additional room around the splash pad for children and supervising adults to move safely.

Setting Up a Splash Pad

Most splash pads should be positioned on a flat, suitable surface free from rocks, sticks and other sharp objects. Smooth lawn areas are commonly used, provided the ground is level and clear.

Connect the splash pad according to the manufacturer’s instructions and gradually adjust the water flow. Some designs use the water pressure to help support the outer edge while operating the sprinkler jets.

Outdoor Water Play for Active Kids

Running through sprinklers, moving around the play area and interacting with the water can make splash pads a fun form of active outdoor play. Children can enjoy cooling off while staying moving and creating their own games.

Splash pads can also encourage shared play when siblings and friends take turns with different areas of the sprinkler mat.

Splash Pad Safety

Children should always be actively supervised by a responsible adult whenever a splash pad is in use. Even shallow water requires appropriate supervision.

Keep the surrounding area clear, follow all age and safety recommendations and avoid using the splash pad on slippery, uneven or unsuitable surfaces.

Caring for Your Splash Pad

After use, disconnect the water supply and drain the splash pad according to the product instructions. Allow it to dry thoroughly before folding and storing it.

Storing the splash pad while clean and dry can help prevent moisture, odours and unnecessary wear. Keep it away from sharp objects, excessive heat and prolonged direct sunlight when not in use.
