Colburn Park and the City of Fife
Colburn Park is a community park located in the City of Fife that offers a variety of recreational activities for visitors and residents. As a part of the ongoing improvements taking place at the park, the city introduced new infrastructure to support splash pad features and to enhance the experience for visitors.
The City of Fife has continued to invest in projects that improve amenities for the public, while also supporting long-term maintenance. This new splash pad utility building reflects that approach by combining visitor-focused amenities with essential infrastructure into one single structure.
MacKay Sposito, serving as the project architect, worked with the city to design a building concept that aligns with previous designs and meets the functional requirements of the site. Both the City of Fife and MacKay Sposito are repeat partners familiar with Romtec’s process, which helped the project to run smoothly.
Project Overview: Splash Pad Utility Building Design
The goal of this project was to create a splash pad utility building that supports both visitors and splash pad operations at the park. The building includes two unisex restroom stalls and a large equipment room designed to house equipment for splash pad operations.
Romtec provided the design and the supply of the building, working closely alongside the project team to meet the project requirements. The design follows a similar approach to a previous successful project, while incorporating the unique adjustments for Colburn Park.
Restroom and Utility Design Features
The building was designed with the intention of providing public access and operational functionality in one structure. The restroom portion provides convenient access for visitors utilizing the splash pad and surrounding park amenities, while the utility space supports the infrastructure and equipment required to continue smooth operation of the splash pad.
Project Coordination and Schedule
This project at Colburn Park was coordinated between the City of Fife and MacKay Sposito, with primary communication managed through the architect during the design phase. Once approval was provided by the City, the project moved smoothly into production and delivery. Romtec completed delivery of the building package in alignment with the timeline for the project, supporting the city’s efforts to improve the splash pad at Colburn Park.
Project Partners
This project was completed for the City of Fife, with MacKay Sposito serving as the architect and primary design partner. Both organizations have previously worked alongside Romtec and are familiar with the design and supply process.
Romtec provided the design and supply of the splash pad utility building, working with the project team to deliver a structure that supports both public use and splash pad operations at Colburn Park. Installation and site work were completed through the city’s selected contractor.
