  • When Street Furniture Australias photographer
    ventured to the upgraded Anzac Park in Campsie,
    it was so crowded with happy families he had to
    postpone the shoot for a less busy time of day.
    The popularity of this park is a testament to its
    design, by Moir Landscape Architects, and
    implementation by contractor Sterling Group
    Services.

  • The City of Canterbury-Bankstown commissioned the
    575,000 upgrade, co-funded with ClubGrants, as
    the first of several playgrounds to be developed
    for its growing population. Anzac Park
    Playground is one of the first major upgrades in
    the Canterbury region and, yes, there are plenty
    more in the pipeline, says Daniel Walters,
    landscape architect with the City of
    Canterbury-Bankstown.

  • The playground upgrade at Anzac Park
    is significant as it is in the centre of our
    busiest town and has such a diverse range of
    users. The playground was designed with this in
    mind.
  • In the nineties there was very much a one size
    fits all approach to playground installations
    within the Canterbury region. They were often
    dull and offered limited opportunities for young
    people to challenge themselves.

  • Today our playground designs aspire to be
    innovative and provide all age groups and
    abilities with the opportunity to develop
    important life skills.
  • These, together with demographics of an area,
    community expectations, and how well a proposed
    playground adds value and diversity within the
    existing playground network are factors that
    mostly influence design.

7
  • Moir Landscape Architects collaborated with the
    Council in designing a park to provide
    for diversity and more challenging play.
  • Anzac Park Playground has been transformed into
    a vibrant city playground which caters for all
    ages and abilities, from the toddler play area
    through to adults exercise equipment,
    says Ashley Rathgen, senior landscape architect
    with Moir.

  • The community has embraced the space. With
    increased visitation users have been interacting
    imaginatively with the creative and challenging
    play elements and utilising the facilities for
    group gatherings.
  • The large scale Giant Octanet and Mammoth Swing
    have become landmark features of the park,
    drawing older children to the playground and
    facilitating group interactions.

  • The hide and seek garden encourages
    non-prescribed play, incorporating natural
    materials, and imaginative play elements such as
    the fishing rod and boat to interpret a creek
    line which once ran through the site. Street
    Furniture Australia contributed Classic Plaza
    Platforms, settings of Classic Plpaired with Park
    DDA Tables, and tailored Arc aza DDA Seats
     were fixed on curved concrete plinths with
    brackets.

11
  • The street furniture was selected to compliment
    the play equipment and modern materials while the
    timber material is consistent with the more
    traditional elements in the park, says Rathgen.
  • The custom concrete, curved precast concrete and
    timber seats create a design feature unique which
    is unique to Anzac Park Playground.

  • The curved seats were designed to allow
    supervision over the multiple play areas
    throughout the site and their generous size has
    the ability to accommodate users in busy
    periods.
  • The upgrade includes playground equipment
    including a Giant Octonet, new trees, an
    accessible swing, large shade sails and colourful
    rubber soft-fall surfaces.

14
  • Rathgen says accessible design has been carefully
    considered and integrated throughout the
    playground, from furniture selection to
    prescribed play elements such as the Mammoth
    Swing and Boat, and custom features including the
    accessible timber ramp through the hide and seek
    garden.
  • Inclusive design ensures there are opportunities
    for children of all abilities to interact and
    experience the playground.
