How we’re helping to increase the wellbeing of high school students

POSTED ON: Monday, 06 Nov 2023

Less than 8% of 13 to 17 year olds meet Australia’s physical activity guidelines. While playground equipment doesn’t appeal to high school students, innovative outdoor fitness equipment and obstacle course equipment does. Well designed outdoor fitness equipment promotes unstructured use during class breaks and can be used to bolster structured physical education classes. a_space has led the way in the development of school fitness equipment and obstacle course equipment for schools across Australia helping to enhance student wellbeing.

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”
