ABSTRACT:
A low-cost interactive water play structure and method is provided wherein an existing dry play structure is retrofitted or converted to incorporate various interactive water play elements. Water supply conduits are mounted on or in the support members of the dry play structure to provide water to one or more water forming elements and associated control valves. Play participants adjust the various valves and can immediately observe the change in the rate, direction or velocity of water flowing from the various associated water forming elements, allowing play participants to experiment with and learn about various cause-and-effect reactions using a familiar and entertaining play medium.
