Approaching completion of the Bonython Park Place space

WAX design in collaboration with Ric Mcconaghy and Adelaide City Council are excited to announce the approaching completion of the Bonython Park Place space. The play space is currently in its final stages of construction and in preparation for its opening on the 16^th of December. A family fun day will celebrate the new facility with Mayor Steven Yarwood to officially open the new play space to the public.  The play space is intended to draw upon the rich historical and cultural themes of the surrounding environment and to help to inform a narrative of play opportunities. It looks to reconnect and rejuvenate existing infrastructure, whilst drawing on the central themes of play and exploration to provide an engaging family experience that will encourage many return visits.
