Discover Water Play
Add an element of fun, sensory play to your park or playground
with a Playground Pump! These durable, stainless steel hand
pumps simulate pumping water from a well. However, they are
actually connected to a pressurized water line (e.g., city water).
Kids will play for hours, learning social skills and exploring science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts.
Our growing product line offers turnkey set-ups, like the Water
Fall Table, or systems that can be integrated into current
playground designs, like the Pump-N-Play System. Manufactured
in the United States, Cadron Creek Play is proud to offer
the highest-quality pumps on the market.
This unique water feature will draw kids of all ages and abilities. It
is the ultimate inclusive play feature and the talk of the playground!
