In the construction of water parks, swimming pools, spray parks, and wellness areas within campgrounds and lodging facilities, the design phase plays a crucial role, not only to ensure the immediate functionality and attractiveness of the facility, but more importantly to prepare the ground for future expansion or upgrading.
In fact, there is often a tendency to underestimate the importance of a forward-looking design approach that considers the evolution and growth needs of the facility.
Designing today with tomorrow in mind
Long-term vision is a key element in any construction project, but when it comes to water parks or wellness areas, this aspect becomes even more crucial. Guests’ needs change over time, as do trends in the tourism and wellness industry;
A campground or lodging facility that decides to invest in a water park today may find itself, in a few years, having to respond to a growing demand for larger spaces, more advanced technology, or new attractions to remain competitive.
Unfortunately, however, it is common to come across facilities built without considering the possibility of future expansion, which often leads to additional costs and significant technical complexities when deciding to make changes. Thinking in an expansive perspective already at the design stage can greatly reduce these issues by optimizing time and costs and ensuring a smooth evolution of the facility.
Technical spaces and predispositions: the key to success
One of the most important aspects to consider at the design stage concerns technical spaces and the management of water resources, particularly water tables. Often, facilities are built with minimal technical spaces, sized solely for current use, with no thought to future expansion. This can significantly limit the ability to incorporate new attractions or optimize the efficiency of water management.
A forward-looking approach, on the other hand, involves building slightly oversized technical compartments with water and filtration systems set up to support any growth in the park or wellness area. In this way, even if a decision is made to add new pools, tubs, or wellness areas, the work required to retrofit the existing facility would be minimal and would not involve structural upheaval.
Automations and predispositions: the value of planning
Another element that is often overlooked when building pools and tubs concerns theautomation of systems, such as shutters or motorized covers. Many managers do not consider putting in the arrangements for automation from the outset, then finding themselves faced with high costs and technical difficulties once the facilities are completed. Worse still, they may have to forego the installation of these automations because they are impossible to add on existing structures, incurring exorbitant costs to redo the flooring.
Proper planning, on the other hand, makes it possible to make all the necessary arrangements now, which can be activated in the future with greater ease and at significantly lower cost.
Experience makes a difference, today and tomorrow
A project implemented with a strategic vision of the future cannot ignore the experience and expertise of companies that specialize in the field. The difference between a plant that lasts over time and one that needs constant upgrading lies precisely in the quality of the initial design and implementation.

The future is in design
Ultimately, the design of water parks, pools, and wellness areas requires a strategic vision that goes beyond immediate needs, with an eye toward the future. Thinking about possible expansions, preparing adequate technical compartments, and considering automations and innovations at an early stage will save time and money in the future, and ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of the facility in the long run.
In an increasingly dynamic and evolving market, accommodations and campgrounds that decide to invest in aquatic facilities must adopt a forward-looking mindset. Planning with foresight, relying on industry experts like CEMI Network, is not just an option, but a necessity to ensure sustainable growth and lasting success.
