Shawnee on Delaware, PA -Shawnee Place, a “Wet & Dry” participatory Play Park located at the base of Shawnee Mountain Ski Area, is designed and geared especially for children ages 2 to 12 and their families.

In preparation for the Summer 2008, Shawnee Place Maintenance Crews have been busy re-painting the colorful Play Park and refurbishing the two Waterslide Splashdown Pools. Recent renovations include the re-carpeting of major decks and walkways, and the recent addition of an Infinity Climber play element. The Infinity Climber, winner of the 2004 IDEA Award for design excellence, is a wide, twisting, colorful climber especially for ages 5 to 12.

Along with its two Waterslides and Splashdown Pools, Shawnee Place features a 1000 square foot zero entry Activity Pool which is less than three feet at its deepest point. The centerpiece of the Activity Pool is a large umbrella shaped “Rain Drop” fountain, which circulates 400 gallons of water per minute for children to splash and play under and around. Interactive “Lemon Drop” fountains are also strategically placed in the Activity Pool. Little ones also enjoy the kiddie “Venture River Ride” with its mini canoes in a slow moving water flume.

Other popular Shawnee Place dry play elements include Ball Crawls, Cable Glides, Cloud Bounce, Tunnels of Fun, Hands over Water, Slab Slide, Tube Slide, Sand Box and the Little Tikes Toddler Area.
