Unveiling over 10 playgrounds within the City of Ballarat

POSTED ON: Wednesday, 20 Apr 2016

The City of Ballarat is one of our valued clients and we are proud to have recently completed our 10th project with them in recent years.

In 2015 and 2016, a total of seven projects were completed, including a spectacular all abilities playground at Victoria Park. This project was funded by several community groups including the Touched By Olivia Foundation and is proving to be extremely popular with local families.

Jeff Ashmore, the Facility Maintenance Planner at City of Ballarat commented, “a_space is one of our preferred suppliers and has been selected after a tender process where they have been evaluated for quality, OH&S and local content. I have found working with Chris Smith from a_space to be a customer focused, friendly and professional experience. He delivers the best outcomes with the use of local contractors and adopts a flexible approach to design.”

And Now Playground for Seniors?

This week, a Councillor at Coffs Harbour City Council put forward the idea of a playground for seniors?

Some thought his idea was crazy. What, swings and slides for granny?

Not exactly, the Councillor was putting forward the concept of outdoor gyms accessible to seniors as a means of getting seniors in the community more active. As the Councillor put it, “As we are all getting older and in our turn becoming seniors, shouldn’t we desire that these seniors remain as healthy as they can, as flexible and as self-reliant as possible?”

Designing Playgrounds for Special Schools Intersport’s “Run the Logo” Campaign

We are so thrilled that a_space did our school playground. Blackheath School P&C raised enough money to put in play equipment and a_space were really thoughtful and sensitive to our budget. The design, landscaping, project management and installation team were completely professional and approachable through every stage of the process. The children at Blackheath Public School are absolutely thrilled with their new equipment – the teachers can’t keep them off it.

“This project was excellent, ran smoothly, was well coordinated and completed ahead of schedule. A new rubber surface, some new equipment and shade installation has given this playground a great face lift and an extended life”
