Delaney’s Creek State School are the happy users of a brand new playground!  The school chose from the Evos range of play equipment for it’s unconventional appearance and challenging play experiences.  Their own colour choice complements the natural surroundings of the school and their choice of Rubbertech safety surfacing assists in a safe play environment for the students.

“Excellent consultation and advice - a terrific finished product” is one comment from Delaney’s Creek School and we hope that the children enjoy many years of fun with their Evos Playground.

This is the second school installation of the Evos system in Queensland and it’s also becoming a popular playground option in Council parks throughout Australia.  Designed to shape bodies and minds, age appropriate challenges flex children’s muscles and stretch their imaginations.  We have a number of Evos models in our range, which can be expanded on in phases, adding more components over time to extend the fun!

Showcasing our Sensory Play Centre at Hole 5, we were able to demonstrate the inclusive play benefits of this equipment to a number of players involved in the day whose lives are somehow affected by Autism.

To make the day even more of a success for Playscape Creations, our own team actually managed to win the day’s competition!  Thank you to Landscape Structures for their support in assisting us to be involved with the day.

We are currently installing the Sensory Play Centre, among other inclusive playground equipment, for Brisbane City Council at New Farm Park – stay tuned for more news on this exciting playground development!

• No prescribed entry points or exits flex kids’ mental and physical muscles.
• With the appropriate safety surfacing, all Evos play components are 100 percent ground-level accessible.
• Springy Corocord® climbing cable stretches the imagination while building upper-body and core strength.
• More than 25 components create endless configurations; perfect for multiphase solutions.
• Offers 30 percent reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional play structures for a more sustainable option.

The Sensory Wall – displayed in King George Square, Brisbane

For a playground to be truly inclusive, it not only needs to be accessible, but also age appropriate and stimulating to the senses.  The Sensory Wall has been developed with a focus on sensory play experiences on the playground, creating areas that engage all children and a higher level of inclusive play for all.

We are also looking forward to our continued relationship when we sponsor Autism QLD’s Charity Golf Day in June.

“Developing safe places for children to interact freely with nature is the purpose of what is called the ‘natural Playscape’. The movement toward natural outdoor play opportunities for children has been growing [embracing] the importance of giving children opportunities to play and learn in outdoor environments. Playgrounds built with, and in, the natural environment are more effective in developing fitness, balance and co-ordination.” Source – “The Great Outdoors, Restoring Children’s Right to Play Outside” Mary Rivkin

The Sensory Play Wall and Cosy Dome complement our existing “Sensability” range – encouraging children of all abilities to interact and play together.  Guided by the Landscape Structures Inclusive Play Advisory Board, LSI has become a leader in creating playground fetaures and events that are attractive and engaging to all children.  We learn about the world through our senses, helping to build confidence and imagination.  Now there is a great opportunity to welcome the thousands of children with sensory processing deficits – from Autism to Asperger Syndrome & Down Syndrome and the many in between – back to the playground.

Combining the three main components of a higher level of inclusive play – physical accessibility, age and developmental appropriateness, and sensory-stimulating activity – our playground designs invite children of all abilities to play and imagine together.  Making them equal through play.

“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.

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.
