Proposed sandpit adventure playground improvements
So many little engineers are building dams and bridges at the sandpit that the infrastructure needs some fixing.
water outlet lid comes off, hose kinks
kinked hose leaks at water outlet
tap runs all the time, can't be turned on and off
At a staff site meeting on Friday June 11, 2010, program staff asked for a more solid and roomier water turn-off box, so that it would be easier to turn the water off and keep the box locked at night or on rainy days. That way the hose would not kink and the water could come out easily during the times of play. At night, when no kids are there, nobody would be able to turn on the water and waste it.
Besides that, the sandpit water tap has no turnoff. The old tap from Lee Valley no longer suits. A tap such as the one at the waterplay/sandplay area in Wychwood Park would work better.

in-ground concrete tap needs about 15 feet of pipe
Here's the distance the pipes would need to be laid, to go from the existing in-ground outlet to the spot where the Lee valley tap often stands.
