Garnett Street Reserve

More than meets the eye

Though this play space is relatively small, it includes a lot that makes it a real attraction to the local community. The space features a spectrum+ hybrid play unit with a rope bridge, two slides, rock wall and other activities. The use of timber guardrail verticals and bright red uprights, combined with multi-coloured blue rubber undersurfacing gives the space an exciting aestetic.

Colours & materials, carefully paired

Special consideration was taken when deciding on the colour scheme for this playground. The client wanted it to be vibrant but also requested that it featured some natural elements to blend with the beautiful landscape around.

Maximising learning & engagement

Like all playgrounds we design, we take a serious approach to ensure that the equipment design provides maximum engagement and learning opportunities for children. This play unit is a multi-age playground, with one-half of the unit suited for juniors and the other half for senior children. Play elements such as panels and easy access were incorporated for junior children, while the designers included more challenging aspects with more verticality for senior children.
