MacGregor State School Prep

Using a mix of nature play equipment and a more traditional nature-inspired playground structure, this effective school playground design features a wide range of ‘zones’ with different play intents.

Balancing equipment and maze games create low-level balance play, while a large ironbark teepee forms the basis of imaginary games, group discussions or quiet time in the calmer role play zone. Things get more physical with sliding, racing, climbing and hanging equipment in the active zone, which sits alongside interactive play features such as funhouse mirrors, low and high runners, game panels, shop games and cubby spaces. Mirrors, spinners and tactile turning leaves form an elevated transitional play zone, while a contemplative zone gives kids a quiet spot to stop and reflect, to rest from play and observe while still feeling included.

This project is testament to the experience and knowledge of our play consultants, who managed the full end-to-end process from design through to installation.
