Kids Inflatable Splash Pool and Play Centre with Hose-Fed Gator Sprayer and Waterslide by Intex

When the backyard heats up and the kids are restless, a hose-fed play centre turns an ordinary afternoon into a mini water park at home.

Intex has built this one around a friendly gator that sprays water as soon as the garden hose is attached. Little ones can scoot down the slide, sit under the mushroom shade or play with the extras in the box: an inflatable gator, a baby duck and a fishing bucket. The central landing area has extra padding, so it is kinder on knees and feet, and the whole unit is made from 11-gauge vinyl for repeat summers of use.
