Cloward H2O, an expert in aquatic design, is celebrating the completion of a successful award-winning project in The Bahamas.
Baha Bay Water Park was meticulously designed to provide everything from a romantic encounter for couples seeking isolated lounge spaces to a world-class adrenaline experience for youths and a fun adventure for families.
The venue is home to an array of aquatic activities designed to compete with the top water park amenities in the world within a beautifully landscaped and themed environment, setting a new benchmark for quality and innovation.
Packed with features
Cloward H2O collaborated with DTJ Design as the site designer and ProSlide Technology to develop Baha Bay, a $200 million beachfront luxury themed waterpark in the Bahamas that combines relaxation and excitement.
Despite the schedule constraints, this 15-acre park in Nassau opened in July 2021, with Cloward H2O developing and engineering the pools and aquatic systems for all of the park’s water attractions, including aquatic structural, mechanical, and electrical design.
A river system runs through the park, as well as a 500,000-gallon wave pool, and a state-of-the-art FlowCurl surf simulator from WhiteWater, alongside rafting and body slides.
Turtle Beach and Stingray Cove are two kid-friendly zones with small pools, twisty slides, a multi-level play structure with a tipping bucket, and a battle zone built for fun and excitement. Baha Bay features 11 custom-designed slide complexes from ProSlide’s cutting-edge Best Rides collection.
High-quality finishes
Cloward H2O collaborated closely with the project design team to ensure that each pool had the greatest possible qualities, including crystal clear water, high-end finishes, and low-maintenance operation. The consumption of power and water was a key consideration.
The end result saw the project being named the Caribbean’s Leading Water Park 2022 in the World Travel Awards, and receiving the Gold Nugget Merit Award for Best International Resort/Hotel.
“Developing a park like this on an island challenges the engineering team to use resources as efficiently as possible.” says the principal engineer for the project, Allen Clawson. “Our team was able to implement best practices and technologies resulting in significant water use reduction, lower power consumption, and savings on chemical use when compared with typical waterparks.”
Cloward H2O has also been celebrating the success of its project for Bass Pro, creating a bespoke water system for the chain’s largest store in the US.
