Let your child's imagination
run free in a nature playground

Nature Playgrounds are fortunate enough to have established an exclusive arrangement with a West Australian timber supplier. Our supplier holds a licence, permitting them to harvest the timbers that are left behind after logging, that would otherwise be unused and burnt off when clearing the area for replanting. These logs are discarded by the forestry companies, as they are not straight enough or contain imperfections that make them unsuitable for most applications. Fortunately for Nature Playgrounds these logs are ideal, as we particularly want timbers with as much character and natural imperfection as possible. The logs have also been on laying on the ground for several years and hence have partially seasoned over this period, before being harvested for our use. Further to the locally sourced native hardwoods, Nature Playgrounds source individual play elements from all over the globe to help bring the play equipment to life.

The short answer is YES. Having been an industry leader over many years we have built strong relationships with all our suppliers including landscapers that assist us to bring your vision to fruition. Our Managing Director Stewart Winsor had been a landscaper commercially for approximately 17 years and was then introduced to the concept of nature play at its infancy. Having small children of his own at the time Stewart knew how important it was for children to have access to good playground facilities. After completing the first few projects in nature based play Stewart realized there was significant demand in this space and commenced supplying the market with a range of ready made playground products. This demand was so significant that the company quickly expanded into playground design and construction. Nature Playgrounds became a market leader in unique, sustainably sourced playgrounds that provided for the education and development of children. We work with our Clients and not just for our Clients. All our playgounds are independently audited against the current legislative safety requirements.

Australian Standards 4685 provides the framework for playground equipment and surfacing. It includes guidelines that provides clarity around height and free fall requirements with the objective to reduce the risk of child playground related injuries. The AS4685 covers the most common play equipment and components: General safety requirements and test methods. There are additional safety requirements and testing methods for swings. There are additional safety requirements and test methods for slides. In a playground complex, the free height of fall needs to be individually assessed for each component. It should be noted that the playground standard specifies a maximum free height of fall of 3.0m, with supervised early childhood centres being restricted to 1.8m. Slide impact areas must comply with the requirements of AS4685, that is, slides between 600mm and 1500mm above the adjacent falling surface have a minimum impact area of 1500mm on all sides, and thereafter tapering to 2500mm for slides 3000mm high. Nature Playgrounds are dedicated to providing a safe place for children to stretch their imaginations through play. We provide an independent Safety Report on completion of your project.
