Fun Solution
Playground Centre worked with the Local Board, Council, Project Manager and Contractor to achieve this awesome Park. The Local board were initially consulted on their vision to design a playground would reflect the character of Te Puke and be unique. Given the large and ambitious Walkway refurbishment, from the main street to the park. We worked with the Architect/Project manager to create options and ideas to fit concept, site and budget. The 6m Tower with nests gives a kiwifruit vine impression as the centre of activity with an array of round shaped components and complimentary pieces. Encouraging more people into the park also increased the safety and security.
