Carss Bush Park Playspace
Upgrade of Award winning Public Space: Stage 1 completed
The Carss Bush Park playspace is a regional scale, all-abilities playground on the foreshores of Kogarah Bay. We took inspiration from the surrounding bushland setting to design this space and introduced a number of custom-made elements.
Stage 1 of the refurbishment of Carrs Park’s playground was completed in the last quarter of 2024. The outdated toddler’s area was lifted to provide better drainage. New features were added including a rocky swale in preparation for Stage 2. Carvings of the nearby marine life were added in places to the sandstone logs to add another layer of discovery to the site. Stage 2 will enhance the nautical theme further with a large climbing rope structure resembling the local blue ring octopus.
