Botanical Traditions - Early Learning Centre

The client was unhappy with the existing Playspace which consisted of an exposed yard with tanbark and a few pieces of fixed play equipment.

The new design which will be implemented in early 2012 and the end result will be a shady more natural like Playspace.  The designed landscape areas will encourage and provide a place where links can form between children, the children and the environment and care givers. The main social areas are the sandpits, bird cage, cubby and sensory garden

It is also a place where children can use their imagination to create play, providing a stage with items like the cubby to encouraging role playing, or the sensory and stepping stone areas as small scale places suitable for individuals or small groups.

Physical activity is provided by the use of moveable equipment but also through the topography of the site, textured ground surfaces and edging.

Open space for flexible play has been provided in the babies yard on the synthetic turf area and for older kids in the circular paved area.
