If you thought Old MacDonald’s Farm sounded fun … you might want to check out St Leonards Park Playground in Hastings

The farm-themed St Leonards Park Playground was a finalist in the 2024 Recreation Aotearoa - Te Whai Oranga Playspace of the Year Award and another top project delivered by the Playground Centre team.

Through our close collaboration with Hastings District Council - Te Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Heretaunga and drawing inspiration from local residents' strong connection to their agricultural heritage we transformed the roadside rest area into a truly unique community play space.

The specially designed farm-themed equipment is tailor made for imaginative, role-based play. Children can shear sheep in the ‘Wool Shed’ play tower or jump on the play space’s ‘truck’ and pretend to be driving livestock to markets - singing E-I-E-I-O all the way!

The play space also includes picnic tables, shade and amenities from Urban Effects

If you had to choose between buying a home that was close to a playground or park and one that wasn’t – which one would you buy?

If you answered yes to a nearby place to play, you’re not alone. One international study shows more than half of home buyers would make the same choice.

In fact, proximity to parks and playgrounds significantly boost property value, making a quality playground a treasured community asset in more ways than you might have thought.

As increasing urban density means open, green space is valued more than ever, access to quality, well-designed and inclusive playgrounds, fitness and recreation areas are key to boosting property value and attracting premium prices from homebuyers. With predictions that around 70 per cent of the wor...

We kitted it out with a variety of our outdoor exercise stations, all designed to support the development of strong, healthy minds and bodies.

Caroline Bay Playground in Timaru is one of New Zealand’s newest, largest, and most exciting destination playgrounds.

The popularity of the play space is a dream come true for Timaru District Council and CPlay, the visionary group of local community volunteers we worked alongside to transform the town’s tired existing play area into THE destination for play.

It was amazing to be part of this playground project and we are absolutely thrilled to see the joy it’s bringing to the Caroline Bay community.

Talk about making learning fun! Santa Sophia Catholic College might be one of the coolest schools you’ve ever seen.

We were thrilled to support the school to incorporate innovative play solutions into the design of their campus, including a custom-made tube slide that transports kids from the classroom to the playground. Plus, there’s heaps of other fun stuff to do like make music on the xylophones, conga drums and tubular bells or play on the huge 5.5m net climber than can cater for over 60 kids at a time.

Not one, but two treehouses are the focus of this nature-inspired Windy Ridge Reserve play space that has been designed to blend cohesively with the surrounding parkland.
Along with the small cubby house, swings and balance trail, there’s plenty of opportunities for children to indulge in adventure, physical challenge or quiet reflection. While in a nod to the reserve’s name, distinctive bespoke windmills add a pop of colour above the barbecue and table setting from Urban Effects that encourage families to stay awhile longer.
