Let's Play

About the new play space

We have been working with CRS to incorporate all of the ideas and feedback that has been shared by the community! You had a big wish list and we have been able to tick a lot of these off the list.

The design of the play space has been inspired by the local story of ‘The Red Lamp’ and will cater to a range of ages and abilities. When complete, young people living in and around Shellharbour will have a vibrant, safe, inclusive play space.

Some of the key features will include:

• 8 m high cube multi tower with rope bridge to turret podium
• Accessible path/ramp to tower to first level
• Various slides, twisting tunnel slides and wide slide from tower
• Quad swing set with nest seat, cub seat
• Megga cantilever swing
• Climbing square and triangle nets
• 25m Double flying fox includes inclusive seat
• Spaghetti crinkle
• Whirly Dizzy spinner
• Sensory panels - Musical
• Inclusive carousel
• In ground trampolines
• Nature play and discovery area
• Softfall
• Footpath connectivity

Creating an inclusive playspace

An inclusive playspace invites people of all ages, abilities and cultures to come together.

Inclusive playspaces are easy to access, easy to move around, provide a range of play options and challenges, and have appropriate facilities in a comfortable environment.

Inclusive playspaces encourage everyone to stay as long as they choose. A playspace is more than just equipment. It is the entire setting used and enjoyed as part of the play experience.

An inclusive playspace utilises principles of inclusive design and accessibility, creating spaces people of all ages and abilities can enjoy. We have used the Everyone Can Play Guidelines in developing this playspace design for Reddall Reserve.
