Interfering kiddies aside, a single MP60 will put a lot of flow on one end, basically blasting anything near it, just to create any wave/flow action
2 40s would be a better idea
A wave box may be your best solution if you are concerned about children and hardware
Although, if you can do it, I've seen some nicely built peninsula tanks using a 4-way plumbed around the top

I think the MP60 might be a little much. Two MP40s sounds better.

So 2 MP 40s stuck to the same wall only 6-12" apart still creates good waves? Any maybe just use the far end of the peninsula as the low flow area?

A 4 way on top is not really an option since the tank has no canopy to hide the plumbing.
