Anchors away at Largs Bay School

POSTED ON: Wednesday, 28 Feb 2018

After working with a_space twice previously on playgrounds within the school to suit other age groups – Largs Bay School wanted to install a new multiplay structure for the Junior school.

Principal Mike Tate, along with school staff, consulted families and children about what they wanted from the new play area. Challenging equipment was by far the most popular vote from students in the 5-7 age range the play area was being designed for.

The school, having already dedicated time and resources to formal physical education wanted to ensure that even in their downtime, pupils can climb, build strength, problem solve and promote motor skill development. Then with the location, the nautical theme was a no-brainer to spark imagination and themed play.

Thanks to the funds raised by Out of School Hours Care and the fundraising efforts of the school, our expert space planner local to South Australia was able to help the school complete the new Junior school playground, quickly and easily.

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”
