Scots College

AWAKENING THE LIONS

The long overdue Junior School play area upgrade at Scots College has finally arrived. Based on the student’s inspiration of a tree house we designed a play structure that reflects the boys’ sense of adventure and their wishes for dynamic tree climbing escapades.

A series of decks wrapping around the existing tree trunks create real connections to the trees. Rope bridges will join a loop circuit to the main structure. Most dynamic play elements are connected here. Cube platforms will allow boys to climb to the top of the tree canopy. The tallest cube with over 5m height above the ground will open the perspectives looking out through coloured windows onto the tree canopies.

On the root level of the trees the Giant wobbly centipede in hiding will definitely test balance skills with its unpredictable movement and bounce.

The existing sandpit will be upgraded with sandstone platforms where Lions live, in this small retreat from the active playground. The Scots emblem is present here with the pride of Lions.
