Blackwell & Associates were commissioned to undertake the design, documentation and contract administration of a themed quality playground for the region. The new playground caters to children of different age groups and abilities and actively encourages them to use their imagination.

Special features include a smoking volcano lookout, a ruined village and a desert island, all contribute to the tropical island theme. Various play items are located on and around the islands including a climbing frame, cableway, water play features, bridges, slides and swings. Gardens of intrigue and botanical diversity surround the playground providing interest for older visitors and some protection from the nearby road. Barbeque facilities within the playground cater for family groups.

Fremantle artist Steve Tepper created a variety of artworks to contribute to the themed playground including Easter Island Heads, totem pole caps and sea turtles whilst ‘The Wizard of Fire’, Antonio Batistessa, fabricated feature furniture items using timber and steel.
