BLAST OFF INTO FUN

adventure+ take playground structures to another galaxy with the five metre tall rocket ship tower at The Grange Reserve space-themed playspace in Clayton South.

Located in Clayton South, The Grange Reserve playspace is a popular local park that both community and tourists enjoy. The existing wooden playground was due for renewal, and it seemed only fitting to replicate the theme imparted by the nearby famous Westfall UFO. To achieve the theme, adventure+ incorporated a rocket ship play structure into the design of the new playspace for outer worldly fun.

ADVENTUROUS AND IMAGINATIVE PLAY

The rocket ship tower stands 5 metres tall and features round platforms and a shaped cone roof to give its distinctive rocket shape. Unlike run-of-the-mill playgrounds, this themed design fuels a child’s creativity and sense of play by having users imagine being in a spaceship. The playspace also includes numerous climbing and balance activities that create a path from one side of the playground to the rocket ship tower.

CUSTOMISABLE CONCEPT TO SUIT THE PROJECT

A part of the brief provided by the City of Kingston was to create a playground design that stood out and was challenging while meeting a tight budget. As a result, the company used an adventure+ concept from another project and customised it to suit the theme and exact requirements of the client.

FUN FOR ALL AGES

The play equipment was carefully designed to cater for both older and younger children. While the tower and more challenging nets are loved by older children, less challenging elements such as the shop counter and Velocity Carousel are perfect for younger ages.

The completion of The Grange Reserve playground project has proven to be a hit with children of all ages.

“The UFO themed park was designed in honour of an event that took place on the morning of April 6, 1966 when at least 90 students and teachers witnessed three ‘flying saucers’ hovering over their school oval.” City of Kingston
