Capabilities / Play Spaces
Playgrounds, nature play and community play spaces, built into the ground they sit on and built to the standard that keeps them safe.

Imaginative, durable, built for community
Every play space we build sits on top of work nobody points at: the retaining that holds the bank, the drainage that keeps a southerly rainstorm from turning the surfacing into a puddle, the fixings rated for salt air if the site is anywhere near the harbour. The parts a five-year-old will never notice are the parts that decide whether the space is still standing in ten years.
Above that we build the part they do notice. Slides and towers where the scale is right, nature play that uses the trees and slope already on site instead of flattening them, quiet ground-level spaces next to the bigger moves so a toddler and a ten-year-old can share the same fence line. It is public infrastructure, delivered for councils and community boards, and it has to work for the whole street, not just the loudest kid on it.
Playgrounds. Nature and community play. Impact-attenuating surfacing to NZS 5828.
What's inside a play space
Playgrounds and play spaces
Towers, slides and shade structures, retained and surfaced as one complete site, not a kit dropped onto a lawn.
Nature and community play
Trails, interpretive signage and play that works with the bush and terrain already there instead of clearing it.
Impact-attenuating surfacing
Surfacing, fall-height and equipment spacing built and documented to NZS 5828, for every audit that follows.
How a play space gets built
Slope, drainage, sightlines from the street, the trees already there worth building around. A play space works because the ground under it was understood first.
Nature play, traditional equipment, quiet corners for the little ones and bigger moves for the confident ones, laid out so a parent on a bench can see the whole space at once.
Impact-attenuating surfacing, fall-height compliance and equipment spacing, documented as we go so the asset owner has a clear record for audits and inspections.
A completed space with the documentation council needs, and a maintenance arrangement if the site wants one, because surfacing and timber both ask for upkeep.
Council, community board or private site, we will look at the ground and tell you what it can carry.
