Hayman Park Playground: Playtower & Kiosk

Acting as an urban marker that’s visible from the city centre, the vertical arrangement is striking and inherently playful. At any one time it resembles a tower, a castle or a tree house. The parents’ stair winding up through the centre doesn’t dominate and the sense of adventure and opportunities to climb up the levels or cross between towers have been cleverly integrated. Safety and adventure are counterbalanced. The mix of colourful, tactile materials and the diverse scale of play elements in the tower and adjacent landscape offer accessibility to all ages.
