More Than Just a Wake Park
List of infrastructure facilities that will help provide for everything and not forget anything
To make a wake park a truly great place for active family recreation by the water, you need a bit more than just a water skiing track with a great set of obstacles.
Convenient and well-thought-out wake park infrastructure will help ensure comfortable guest stays on the territory. And make it so that guests want to return to you again and again.
We've compiled a list of wake park infrastructure facilities for you on the "maximum" program. After all, it's always easier to cross out the unnecessary than to come up with everything from scratch, and then definitely forget something.

Directly sports part:
- Cable-tow systems
- Figures
- Start platform
- Walkways for exiting the track
- Buoys. Especially necessary in wake parks near which there are swimming beaches and boat stations
Infrastructure:
- Changing room
- Equipment rental point, of course we also include the rental equipment itself: wakeboards, bindings, vests, helmets, wetsuits
- Lockers for storing personal belongings
- Toilet (mandatory), shower (if possible)
- Parking
- Rest area / queue waiting area. In the rest area, we recommend placing sofas, benches, sun loungers or bean bags. This area should be in the shade so that visitors have somewhere to hide from the scorching sun. Even better to use tents or awnings that will help not lose visitors during rain
- Staff room and storage for inventory: tools, equipment parts, cleaning supplies, etc.
- First aid kit. In addition to the minimum set of medicines, we recommend having insect bite repellent and sunscreen in the wake park. Burn remedies will also not be superfluous
- Rescue boat + trained lifeguard. A boat with a lifeguard is necessary in cases of athlete injury on the water skiing track. Remember that at least one of your employees must have an official Lifeguard certificate.
- Playground or children's corner
- Trash cans in sufficient quantity
- Outlets for visitors
- Wi-Fi
- Speakers and music accompaniment, to create the atmosphere you need
- Stand with rules for safe behavior in the wake park
- Cafe / bar. This will save you from visitors running away for lunch. If there is no opportunity to organize a cafe-bar, then as a backup option, offer visitors free tea/coffee or organize a mini-market where visitors can find something to snack on
- Board shop
- Hostel / hotel
- Bath / sauna / hot tub. Warming procedures will help significantly delay the closing of the season and open the season a little earlier than usual
- Water park / inflatable water park or inflatable obstacle course on the water area.
