Race,
Several of the new additions to the children's area of Wonderplex are ready for your personal inspection. Safety checks regarding general construction and related utility connections have been completed. As per our agreement, after extensive background checks, staff has been and is being hired, and insurance has been acquired to cover the park's liability for potential accidents. There will be an urgent care center opening on site with certified medical professionals on duty during park hours to include one hour before opening and one hour after closing. While that facility was not specifically discussed in our verbal contract, as the representative of Harker and Hall I did agree to attend to all possible safety issues. The care center is similar to the one that was recently built on the West Side of the Old Market District including a small surgical unit.
The other areas ready for you to inspect and/or to give a trial run are as follows:
The Sweet Shoppe - The Sweet Shoppe is an ice cream shop and bakery. Cakes and other sweet treats are baked on site. There is a small scale canning operation where children can learn to make and sample their own jam and jelly creations. They can also get some experience in cake decorating. In the rear, is a fenced in outdoor play area with a Candy Land theme.
Kids' Arcade & Fun Center - We considered the name 'Kids' Kasino,' but some people might have objected to the implication that children were being encouraged to gamble. This is a bi-level structure with a patio on the upper floor. Arcade games, pool tables, foosball, air hockey, and pinball machines as well more traditional games like chess and dominoes are currently available. There is a prize booth on the ground floor with an assortment of tech toys as well as plushies. We expect that the giant gumball machine will be a popular attraction. A solar grid and skylights are installed in the roof to allow the arcade to provide its own power source.
Indoor Pool - A minimum of two lifeguards and two paramedics will be on duty during open hours.
The pool has skylight roof to allow the building to be lit and warmed by natural light and heat during daylight hours. In addition to other restrooms, there are two family style restroom/changing room areas. Two diving boards and a sliding board are available. Life vests are provided for beginning swimmers. Two certified swimming instructors have already been added to the staff and a schedule is being arranged. Classes will be held twice a week and the pool will be open to students only during those sessions. A vendor selling various snacks and drinks is located outside the natatorium.
Infant and Toddler Care Centers - There are houses that have been built in the children's area to accommodate infants and toddlers that are too young or too easily tired out for some of the attractions throughout Wonderplex. Each of these child care centers has a play yard with tall privacy fence. Sandboxes and kiddie pools are some of the outdoor toys available. Latches on the gates as well as the entrances to the building are connected to a security system. The first floor houses an office, a kitchen, two full bathrooms, a first aid center, the infant room, and a playroom. Second floor has the toddler sleeping areas, laundry facilities, two full bathrooms, a playroom, and a quiet room. Each building has a nurse on duty at all times as well as several attendants that divide the duties of cooking and child care. We are currently finishing the last of these buildings.
Wonderplex Express - The Wonderplex Express is a train and train station. Your staff was most helpful in getting this one together as we need to lay out train tracks. Pending your comments after looking it over, this train could remain as a stationary exhibit or go live and make a circuit around the children's area and/or the entire park. The train is meant to allow children as well as their old family members to experience dining and sleeping on train cars as was once popular in days gone by. Each pair of cars has a dining car with a small kitchen and a car with two sleeping and drawing rooms. All-in-bathroom and shower facilities are available. The drawing room sofas can be converted to create additional sleeping space. The train station has a waiting room, comfort facilities, and a small snack bar.
Children's Carnival - This area is still in progress, but the roller coaster is completed and operational if you'd like to test that out.
Farm Life - This area allows children to experience some of the aspects of living on a farm. There are some large animals there and we have required a minimum age of eight years or five years if a parent or guardian is present. There is active beehive in this area as well. Care has been taken regarding allergies to any animals including bee stings. Horseback riding, milking cows and other activities are being set up.
All facilities have rest rooms as you might expect. Many, but not all facilities have refreshments available.
All employees in these areas are certified in basic first aid and CPR including CPR for infants.
There are some other attractions that were just started that we hope will meet with your approval. Children's Day is just around the corner and the entire project should be completed by then. Perhaps, Wonderplex could be the host site this year.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
Sincerely,
