Designed as a replacement playground for an existing playground that had fallen behind contemporary standards.

This project creates a fun play and family space that encourages movement and pathfinding. The design uses stepping logs and recycled balance logs to create a forest of poles that weaves through the site for the children to explore, leading them between the various pieces of equipment and activities. A loop track cuts through the playground with smooth curves and roll over mounds for scooters and skateboards, adding another dynamic layer of movement to the space. While the flying fox provides a safe rewarding confidence building activity.  The end result is an open space that gives children the opportunity to play their own way, creating their own paths and stories.

The project included:
  • Developed design
  • Construction drawings and specifications
  • Tender review and contract observation.
