“World Autism Awareness Day Big BBQ Breakfast”

hosted by Autism Queensland

World Autism Awareness Day is dedicated to raising global awareness about Autism and the lives of people living with Autism, their families and carers.  April is Autism Awareness month and the event, being held on:

Thursday 1st April at King George Square, Brisbane City from 6.30am to 9am

is just one of a number of Fundraising events being held by Autism QLD throughout the month.

We believe Sensory Play is essential, but not adequately addressed in today’s playgrounds.  By focusing on the senses, we’re creating spaces that are attractive and engaging to all children.

Landscape Structures has been a leader in creating playground designs and events that go beyond minimum requirements.  To continue their leadership in the Inclusive Play movement, they’ve established the Landscape Structures Inclusive Play Advisory Board collaborating with leading experts in the field.  With their help, we aim to bring better playgrounds to all.

The playground is a place where all kids should be able to play together freely and in order for this to happen, we need to consider the needs of ALL children.  For a playground to be truly inclusive, it must consider those with mobility challenges, typically developing, the growing number of children with autism and others with sensory processing disorders.

From the “Cozy Dome” (pictured above) offering a place for children to escape the hustle and bustle of a busy playground, to the range of tactile and interactive panels included in the Sensory Play Centre, we can encourage kids to further their development and create imaginative worlds as they play together.

“Children are smarter, more cooperative, happier and healthier when they have frequeent and varied opportunities for free and unstructured play in the out-of-doors.”  Source – “Children & Nature 2008: A Report on the Movement to Reconnect Children to the Natural World” – Children & Nature Network

“The results were clear that children who had contact with nature and green play worked better in the classroom and had higher levels of flexibility and strength.”  Source – Kathleen Bagot PhD Monash University

We believe that access to nature contributes to the health and well-being of young people, and helps form a foundation of responsible environmental behaviour.

The largely popular design of the whimsical Whale pod waterspray park has always been a major feature of the whole theme of the park at Pandanus Beach.  It is a great place to go for the kids to get wet by the water spouting whales and have some fun, proving over the years to be a family favourite destination on a hot summer’s day.

The Rejuvenation: In recent weeks due to its popularity and frequent visitors, it was time for the whimsical whales to undergo an extensive rejuvenation.  The feature whales have undergone modifications to the drainage and the undersurfacing of the entire waterspray area.  Playscape Creations were able to utilise a newly developed product from Rubbertech -  a Chlorine and UV stable aquatic surfacing product which has been in development for over 12 months.  The new aquatic surfacing allows the park to have 100% flow through properties, which leads directly to the external water pits which surround the perimeter of the Whimsical whales.

With the recent revamp of the whales, the end result for the park has been a fantastic one for all involved and the whimsical whales are now re-opened and spouting water again for all families and visitors to enjoy, just in time for the school holidays and the fast approaching summer months.

The Team at Playscape Creations were pleased to be able to recently take part in the renovation of a Childcare centre at Sunnybank in Brisbane as part of the team on the new show “Random Acts of Kindness” on Channel nine. The show is to be hosted by Scott Cam and is a “heart-warming and feel-good show, making dreams come true for deserving Australians.”

Playscape Creations were pleased to be able to assist in the rubbersurfacing and Installation of the external Playground area and was a lot of fun all involved for the weekend that it took place. Beign assisted by Parkequip from NSW, who supplied the playground equipment for the show, the overall result in the end was an amazing transformation and we were proud to be involved and be able to give something back to the local community, especially to the kids.

It was wonderful seeing all the children enjoying their new environment and playing with all their new play equipment. The end result was worth all the hard work and effort we all put in. It was great to see it airing on the Nine Network  earlier this year and be a part of bringing some joy to the kids and their families.

We love the challenge. And you’ll love the results.
