Urban Play continues to set the standard for community playgrounds with the unveiling of a new park at Brentwood Rise. Located in Augustine Heights, Ipswich, the new playground offers unrivalled opportunities for creative play with state-of-the-art equipment and a design that breaks the mould for residential estates on the southside.
The multi-level playground features an innovative circuit design which encourages children to explore all areas through numerous physical challenges. Most notable is the custom sky-high’climbing net structure - the first of its kind for the Ipswich region.
The sky-high walk features an enclosed rope bridge which allows children to climb to a cabin 6 metres above the ground. They can also access the cabin via a vertical rope tunnel, and exit via an 11m long slide which brings them back to the lower level.
The construction combines an exhilarating experience with maximum safety and is already a huge hit with residents and the greater Ipswich community. A Brisbane mum said the new playground was already popular with parents and kids alike. “There are always kids everywhere... My son just kept running up and going down the big slide for hours, could not get him away! [It’s] great for big kids too.”
Property development group Investa and landscape architects AECOM developed the new playground, with all play equipment designed and installed by Urban Play in conjunction with Eureka Landscapes.
“The site has been carefully planned to maximise play value through creative design. These kinds of playgrounds not only excite kids, but also become a real selling point with homebuyers,” said Ben Urban, Director of Urban Play. “The beauty of this playground is that it caters to kids with varying abilities, and they can challenge themselves according to their level of skill and confidence. We’re also seeing how the power of play encourages social interaction among neighbours.”
