• The Mildura Water Play Park revitalises parkland
  along the Murray River, inviting families to
  relax and play in a prime riverfront setting.
  Mildura Rural City Council commissioned the
  project to revive a 10 kilometre stretch of
  public park as part of an 18.3 million upgrade
  of the river precinct.

• Landscape architects Tract Consultants, with
  contractors King Construction Group, transformed
  the space into a local hotspot that attracted
  1000 visitors each weekend in its first summer.

• Given the hot climate of Mildura a waterplay
  facility was identified as an activity to use
  that as part of the wider masterplan would help
  encourage people back to the park and the river,
  says Nigel Parker, associate landscape architect
  with Tract.

• The firm designed a 40 metre long artificial
  stream, laid out like a river delta with
  divergent paths, islands and rivulets. Fountains,
  programmed water geysers, splash pads, manual
  water pumps and other play elements feature along
  the watercourse.

• Further interest is added through different
  surfaces and textures, such as river cobbles,
  naturalistic boulder placement and selected areas
  of colourful wetpour rubber to add a splash of
  colour, says Parker. The naturalistic shapes of
  the waterplay were based on Aboriginal fish traps
  used on the Murray for centuries.

• A botanical garden surrounds the waterplay
  stream, with emphasis on indigenous plants used
  by local Aboriginal people, such as the trunks of
  the Murray River Cypress, for making fishing
  spears. Custom seating and Frame Bin Enclosures
  by Street Furniture Australia feature in the
  park, supporting BBQ facilities, pergolas and
  indigenous trees.

• Tract specifically designed furniture for the
  site that matched larger structural elements,
  says Parker. Street Furniture Australia were
  able to work alongside us to manufacture a
  quality bench that met the requirements of the
  design.

• They offered the flexibility to choose paint
  products and finishes that ensured the furniture
  fitted seamlessly into the wider design and added
  to the finished result. Cass Harris from King
  Construction Group says the park has been well
  received by the local community.

• It is now seen as a large part of the river
  frontage here in Mildura, where families can go
  and have a wonderful day out with no cost factors
  involved, she says. We now see the park being
  used by the public on a day-to-day basis, with
  children playing with smiles on their faces.
