Editing Splash pad (section)

==Common features==
===Spray force===
Depending upon the strength and arc of the flow, the force of the spray can be relatively strong (especially close to the point where the water emerges) or may have more resemblance to [[rainfall]] or even a fine [[mist]]. Many splash pads have some features such as fine mist, that are designed to be moderate enough for children.  Other splash fountains are designed for adults, e.g. for joggers or concert goers to cool off in.

===Drainage===
The area beneath a spray pool typically has [[drainage|drain]] openings so that the water it produces will not [[flood]] the surrounding landscape. In some instances, the water collected in these drains is [[recycled]] back into the spray mechanism, thereby [[water conservation|conserving water]]. Alternatively, the water emanating from the spray [[nozzle]]s may be continually drawn from a [[fresh water|fresh]] [[water supply]].
