Charles Daly Playspace
Charles Daly is a small local playspace conveniently located near the Bardwell Park Infants School. This location was an important factor for our design team. With limited funds, we wanted to provide fun and respite for the school kids before and after their school. The steep terrain lent itself to some interesting separation of spaces, that allowed us to erect the large climbing rope tower on top of the mound. The lovely sandstone work is not only functional, but it also provides additional much needed seating for parents and carers or just to hang out. The perimeter bike track completes the play experience and is a very popular with younger children.
Seaforth Park Playspace
Seaforth Park Playspace was an outdated play area centrally located amidst the large Fig Trees. Originally steeper and difficult to access play area was transformed will lovely heritage brick walls offering plenty of incidental seating and a formal shelter. Families now come and spend more time there enjoying not only new play elements but also a pleasant atmosphere in a contemporary designed play area.
Dominey Reserve Playspace
Dominey Reserve offers a generous space surrounded by mature trees conveniently separating play area from the roads. The space allowed us to include a substantial perimeter pathway that is loved by children. Some unusual and challenging play elements are included in the play area. Plenty of seating along the new wall, opportunity to run free and test some exciting climbing challenges makes this local park very popular.
