Victoria Park Inclusive Sensory Play Space Project Dec 2023

Our task was to design and construct an earthy toned, nature-based outdoor play space. The playspace offers a variety of complementary play experiences; sand play, water play, climbing and imaginative play with humpies, gathering and seating areas. Play space elements include: Winding coloured concrete pathway Flat brown river pebbles and native plantings Bluestone and limestone crazy pave gathering areas Large seating mud rocks, and basalt stones Upright log forest area with iron bark fencing and humpies Feature fence area with compacted topping for veggie patches worm farms Large flat top seating logs Earthy tones rubber softball under shade sail around existing playground structure Rubber softball mound with climbing tunnel and double slide Synthetic lawn areas Revamped sandpit and water play area with timber sluice and water pump.

We designed and created an idyllic space for all students to benefit from including play and sensory garden elements. With multiple colours and textures, to sit, play or gather as a group. This multi purpose space was designed and built by our talented team and includes:  Log seating; Multi coloured synthetic lawn; Wet pour rubber; Concrete pathways; Mound, tunnel and slide; Upright logs; Rocks and boulders for seating and steps; Paving; Decks/stage; Planting and Mulching.

Seeing local families getting the most out of the recreational spaces we create is very rewarding for the team at Ballarat Groundworks. The team is extremely proud to be part of this project on behalf of the City of Ballarat where we transformed this unusable inner city dirt pile into a wonderful community playing and socialising space.
