SUSTAINABLE NATURAL WOOD: INSPIRING OUTDOOR PLAY AREAS
07 Oct 2025
Cox Reserve Playground for Merri-bek City Council has recently been transformed into a vibrant playspace filled with imagination, movement and connection. At the heart of the project is the Origin' Nest Tower, one of the newest products in Proludic’s sustainable natural wood play equipment range. Designed to blend seamlessly into the natural environment, the tower invites children into a world of tactile, nature-inspired play while enhancing the park’s sense of place.
This project is a strong example of how sustainable natural wood can inspire outdoor play areas. Proludic’s wooden playground equipment in Robinia not only enriches the play experience but also preserves the natural character of a site. The organic forms of the equipment take on the shape of the wood itself, resulting in unique structures that feel rooted in the landscape and tailored to their surroundings.
To ensure longevity, Proludic uses Robinia – a hardwood prized for its natural resistance and durability that requires no chemical treatment. The material’s robustness allows communities to enjoy safe and sustainable play spaces for years to come. Proludic sources its Robinia wood from suppliers who guarantee sustainable forest management practices in line with PEFC certification requirements.
Behind every design is Proludic’s team of designers and technical engineers, who embrace the natural irregularities of wood to create innovative concepts. The production process combines traditional craftsmanship with precision engineering. Skilled carpenters shape each component with care, balancing manual techniques with modern tools to create structures that are both aesthetically striking and highly durable. This commitment to quality continues through installation and beyond.
What emerges at Cox Reserve is far more than a standard playground. The Robinia Origin' Nest Tower and its surrounding play elements create a landscape in harmony with nature – a place where children and families can connect with the outdoors, celebrate sustainable design and build lasting memories in a setting where play and nature are beautifully intertwined.
