A SMALL PARK WITH A BIG IMPACT AT GOODGE COURT
08 Nov 2023
When it comes to creating playgrounds that capture the hearts and minds of children and parents alike, there's a fine balance to strike. The Goodge Court Playground, nestled in the heart of Birkdale, Queensland, is a shining example of how thoughtful design and construction can create a space that appeals to the community who use them.
Catering to Diverse Age Groups
One of the standout features of the Goodge Court Playground is its ability to cater to a diverse range of age groups and children. This is essential in family-oriented areas like Birkdale, where a wide spectrum of children requires engaging play opportunities. To achieve this, the playground is equipped with a variety of age-appropriate equipment.
Infant and Toddler Play Zone: The youngest members of the community are not left out. A specially designed infant seat and strap seat provide a safe and enjoyable experience for little ones. The Quali-Cite sensory fire truck unit complete with a rocket ship springer allows toddlers to explore their creativity and develop their motor skills, all while having a blast.
Adventure Awaits for Older Kids: For older children seeking more adventurous play, the Hags Obstacle Course is the perfect challenge. This exciting course provides an excellent way for kids to test their skills, enhance their motor skills, and foster social interactions with their peers.
Safety with Softfall: Sand was used in and around the park which acts as both a softfall and a different tactile experience.
Quality & Durability
The Fire Truck and Rocket Ship Quali-Cite HPL panels are a cutting-edge solution, offering exceptional resistance to environmental stresses. These panels are not only 100 percent bio sourced and recyclable but also designed to provide highly effective protection against the elements.
The NRG Obstacle Course focuses on nurturing a child's physical development, encouraging social interaction, and skill building. Users can challenge themselves in a fun setting by customising their experience to match their individual strengths and abilities, while also targeting different age groups. This approach helps remove boredom caused by repetition.
A Place for Parents to Relax and Observe
Goodge Court Playground is more than just a children's play area. It's a community space where parents can come together and watch their children's laughter and play unfold. The park features a convenient path leading to the playground from two different access points and a bench seat for parents to sit and observe. Sandstone blocks provide an ideal perch for those who prefer a more informal seating option, also keeping the nature elements tied into the park.
Installing a playground isn’t simply picking some equipment and installing them. It’s about understanding those that will be using the space.
