Mellor Park pencil forest playspace complete

In Adelaide's eastern suburbs nestled amongst the existing Eucalyptus trees, an organic and winding series of connected spaces provide opportunities for dynamic, interactive, passive and reflective play. WAX Design in conjunction with the City of Burnside utilise the key principles, adventure and naturalistic play in the upgrade of Mellor Park.
Play opportunities are created from a feature raised mound of artificial turf with talking tubes allowing communication and sound to be a part of play. Kids can weave amongst the pencil forest set within a pebble mulch, encouraging natural exploration, or get tangled in the climbing net that provides opportunities for more adventurous interaction.
