Water Park Design Thriller
The water park design is a funny combination of separate little areas with separate features. There are three bouncy things in a shallow pool area, pedal boats, paddle boats, the house with the slides, a tire swing, the zip-slide and the usual double/double swing combination with two very safe toddler swings and two big kid swings. There are washrooms, picnic tables and parking and there are trees and shady areas. Younger adventurers have an even bigger place to make a splash with three new slides, a fort, water-shooting cannons, floating swamp animals, a shipwreck and more. Perfect for the little ones and the whole family.

Saginaw, MI - Andersen Water Park on Fordney Road has
sat vacant since it closed in 2003. But by next year, it's expected
to be up and running once again. When the project is complete,

Design developers need to bear the risks
when they build
The thrust of the federal stimulus program is to rebuild
America ’s crumbling infrastructure and spur economic
development while providing decent-paying jobs at a time our
unemployment rates are rising. But should private projects in
need of capital get some of the money? Backers of the proposed
Glacier Lakes indoor water park design and conference
center may think so.

Cotswold Water Park Design
It can be very difficult to make
judgements about the success of otherwise of a piece of interior
design, even when staying for a couple of nights. There are
now a dozen of industry awards for ‘Hotel of the Year’ or ‘Best

of which seem to consist of the same cosy groups of people who
congregate in a room in London/ Paris/ New York/ Los Angeles to
sip wine, nibble canapés and make judgements based on
expensive photography and carefully constructed pr blurbs.
