Sabetha Water Park: Outdoor Sound System and Paging System

  • Government
    Hospitality & Entertainment

Introduction

Sabetha Water Park is a well-loved community space that brings families and friends together each summer. While the park had long been a popular destination for swimming and relaxation, it wanted to elevate the experience by adding a versatile outdoor sound system. The city’s vision was not only to provide background music during the day but also to use the facility for social events and entertainment in the evenings.

At the same time, safety and communication were key priorities. The system needed to double as an emergency paging solution, with a microphone for announcements that could reach every corner of the park. By partnering with TSI Global, Sabetha Water Park received a custom-designed outdoor sound system that combined entertainment, communication, and safety into one reliable solution.

Project Goals

The city of Sabetha wanted its outdoor sound system to accomplish several goals:

  • Daytime Atmosphere – Play high-quality background music throughout the pool area to create a fun, inviting environment.

  • Event Flexibility – Transform the pool into an event space for evening entertainment and community gatherings.

  • Emergency Communication – Deliver clear paging capabilities for safety alerts and instructions.

  • Live Announcements – Provide a wireless microphone that staff could use for updates, event coordination, or emergency communication.

This multi-purpose approach required a sound system that was durable, weather-resistant, and capable of handling both entertainment and safety functions.

System Design

TSI Global worked closely with the city to design a system that balanced audio performance with reliability in outdoor conditions. The design included:

  1. Weather-Resistant Speakers
    Since all equipment would be outdoors, waterproof, high-output speakers were chosen. These speakers were built to withstand rain, sun, and humidity while delivering full-range, high-fidelity sound.

  2. Distributed Coverage
    Speakers were strategically placed around the facility to eliminate audio dead zones. This ensured consistent sound quality throughout the pool deck, seating areas, and event spaces.

  3. Emergency Paging Integration
    The system was built to serve dual purposes—supporting both background music and emergency paging. This integration meant safety never took a backseat to entertainment.

  4. Wireless Microphone Capability
    A wireless microphone was added for announcements, giving staff flexibility to communicate clearly from anywhere in range.

Installation

Timing was critical to ensure the new system was ready before pool season began. TSI coordinated with city staff to complete the installation efficiently and without disruption.

The process included installing and wiring weather-ready speakers across the park, programming the audio system for both music and paging, testing the wireless microphone, and calibrating the system to deliver clear, balanced sound coverage.

By opening day, Sabetha Water Park had a fully functional outdoor sound system that was ready to handle both everyday music and special event needs.

Ongoing Support

TSI Global continues to provide support beyond installation. For Sabetha Water Park, this means seasonal system check-ups, fine-tuning before each summer, and on-call troubleshooting whenever needed. The system is also designed with flexibility for future upgrades, ensuring the city can expand capabilities as its needs grow.

Results and Impact

The new outdoor sound system has transformed the park in several ways:

  • Enhanced Atmosphere: Background music energizes the pool area, making daily visits more enjoyable.

  • Community Events: The park now doubles as an event space, hosting evening gatherings with high-quality sound.

  • Improved Safety: Emergency paging ensures staff can quickly communicate across the entire facility.

  • Seamless Announcements: The wireless microphone allows for clear, mobile communication.

These improvements not only enhance the guest experience but also give the city confidence in its ability to manage events and safety effectively.

Conclusion

By investing in a custom-designed outdoor sound system, Sabetha Water Park has redefined what a community pool can offer. The system provides high-quality entertainment, reliable communication, and robust safety features, all in one durable solution.

Working with TSI Global, the city of Sabetha gained more than a sound system—they gained a trusted partner for long-term support and seasonal maintenance. Today, the park is not only a place to swim but also a hub for events, gatherings, and community pride.
