The Village Playground Tenterfield

The brightly coloured playground equipment provides physical, tactile and visual entertainment for children of all ages and abilities. A number of educational pieces allow for passive play and the 'village road and shops' concept incorporated into the design encourages children to role play. The gardens surrounding the playground extend the exciting play space. The garden design and plant selection encourages children to explore the gardens and discover the variety of plants. A 'secret' entrance to the playground features mosaic artwork incorporating designs created by the children living and playing in the surrounding neighbourhood.
