Elevating waterpark entrances with cast concrete and artificial rock

In July 2023, Atlantic City became home to one of the largest, beachfront, indoor waterparks in the world. Known as The Island Waterpark at the Showboat Resort, the 11,148 m2 (120,000 sf) oasis includes 11 waterslides, six bars, and a 1,921 m2 (6,500 ft) lazy river—altogether holding more than 1 million L (317,000 gal) of water. At the entrance of the waterpark, Rico Rock designed and built the cast concrete rock water feature that welcomes visitors.

Rebirth of a backyard: transforming an old pool into a modern retreat

To elevate the space, the client wanted to add a pavilion with storage, a large outdoor dining area, a complete outdoor kitchen, and a hot tub. However, their existing, older-style pool, typical of its era, occupied a substantial portion of the backyard’s square footage, making the wish list a bit of a challenge. To top it off, there are four unique access points to the yard, each needing consideration.

Create natural-looking artificial rock formations for backyard pools

Today’s cast concrete rock component systems look real because they are cast from real rocks to provide the same shape, character, and texture. More pool builders are using cast concrete rock because it holds up extremely well to the freeze-thaw temperatures in Canada and the northern U.S.

Cast-concrete accessories: Installation of artificial rock features in aquatic facilities

Builders renovating commercial aquatic facilities are looking for ways to help them attract patrons. This often means looking for ways to create a “waterpark” feel around the pool.
