We will be salvaging parts of the redundant play equipment to be used elsewhere, the play space footprint is smaller but more impactful and existing mulch of suitable condition will be reused.

This design incorporates rocks for habitat and understorey planting around the base of existing trees.

The new path in this design bridges the accessibility gap between the existing, paved path and the playground. Rubber softfall will be installed to allow access to an accessible rocker and a ‘basket’ swing.

To combat the urban heat island effect we are creating a smaller, play space footprint to return more area to cooler, irrigated lawn. We are minimising rubber softfall use to high wear areas only and to allow access to particular play items. Our urban heat mapping study reveals rubber softfall is one of the hottest materials in our parks & reserves.
