Hi,
This is only a heading in regard to a text from the realm of tourism.
The topic is new developments in a nature park in NRW, which include a new waterspeelplaats for them kids.
Is Waterspeelplaats good enough to sell you area of Southwestern NRW to potential visistors? I guess so, as the German is only a one-word headline - but what would you as native speakers say?
Thanks,
Cheers,

Comment: "I think the fact that Els gives props to you for suggesting "Waterspeeltuin" might enable me to also go by my gut feeling and not exclusively rely on the advanced native speaker principle (everybody knows and respects Geraard as a professional, friendly colleague, and so do I). I think waterpark might sound slightly off for a nature park in the Eifel, NRW's cozy, relaxed, like 'recreational area'. It is actually just a regular residential region, but still, the vibe there is very much that of holidaymaking. So ... Thanks everyone, excellent work."

3. No hits for waterspeelplaats, waterspeelplein, waterspeelpark
I think it also depends on the scale of the Spielplatz. Waterspeeltuin sounds smaller than waterpark and aquapark. I've never heard 'waterspeeltuin' or 'waterspeelplaats'; I am Flemish.

: Dat klinkt al heel wat beter, als ze ook aantrekkelijk willen zijn voor kinderen van boven de zes.
