"Aquatic activity pool" or "activity pool" means an aquatic recreation pool that contains aquatic play equipment.
"Aquatic play equipment" means water related play equipment or devices intended for use in aquatic activity areas. Examples include, but shall not be limited to, rope ladders, hand-over-hand activities, slides, and devices designed to squirt, shoot, spray, dump, discharge, or disperse water intended to come in contact with people for recreational purposes.
