PROJECT
























           Swings in the children’s play area                                       Slides leading into the sand pit



















           Synthetic turf and trampolines in the children’s play area

           regulations, accessibility, site layout, age
           group for which the equipment is intended,
           and any specific design considerations. It is
           important to ensure that there is enough
           space between the equipment and that it is
           installed on a suitable surface such as rubber
           mulch, to minimise the risk of injury.
            The pieces of play equipment were
           manufactured  specifically  for  the  project,
           with design assistance from Nova Landscape
           and Golf Course Architecture. The equipment
           was custom-designed to fit the space.
            The play equipment was assembled on
           site. The  method of assembly, manufacture
           of the main frame at the factory, placing
           equipment in position and adding finishes all
           depend on the complexity of the equipment
           and availability of space. The final assembly of
           wood and woven rope was completed on site.                          A ‘fox hole’ provides a fun hide-out for children
            All  playground  equipment  was  custom-
           designed and manufactured, keeping
           in mind durability and position of play
           equipment next to the paddle courts and
           golf course.
