Brisbane City Council promote active, healthy spaces

POSTED ON: Wednesday, 24 Oct 2018

Brisbane City Council has fully embraced a_space equipment to promote active healthy spaces in Council’s open space strategy.

Council chose to utilise both static and dynamic equipment in 2 new installations in Toowong. In both Anzac Park and Perrin Park, Council has placed an emphasis on providing free-to-use equipment to help promote inclusion and wellness.

Accessibility was a key consideration for Council when choosing equipment for these parks. They wanted inclusive elements that would suit everyone – the young and old and everyone in between.

a_space equipment was Councils choice, predominantly due to being a quality Australian made product at a reasonable price.

As you can see in the video by 7 News Brisbane, users of the park come from diverse backgrounds to utilise the equipment.

Thanks to a_space’s easy to read signage and QR codes with links to instructional videos, anyone can use the equipment. Even if you’ve never tried the equipment before and have no idea where to start, you can get a full-body workout with support.

a_space are proud to be viable Australian Manufacturers who supply innovative outdoor fitness equipment to Government, Education, Developers and Landscape Architects who are looking to provide a point of difference

Both parks were designed with both the Fit for Parks and Fitness Extra Ranges to provide a mix of equipment in the parks.

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”
