Thank you to Australasian Leisure Management for featuring two Austek Play playground projects recently opened at Burrill Lake and Worrigee.

We hope these new spaces are well used and enjoyed by the local community for years to come 😀

Shoalhaven City Council has opened two new playgrounds in Burrill Lake and Worrigee with the updated playgrounds designed to support physical activity, imagination and social interaction.

Tiny riders, big climbers, quiet explorers… Andrew Crescent Reserve has something for everyone. 🚲🌿

There’s a junior bike circuit for little wheels, a spinning stop/go sign for pretend road rules, and a custom tower with a big tube slide.

For those who like to climb, balance, swing, explore or take things at their own pace, the space includes ropes, nets, sensory panels, a balance trail and swing options for different ages and abilities.

Thanks to Shoalhaven City Council for trusting us with this community playspace. We hope Andrew Crescent Reserve becomes one of those local spots where “just ten more minutes” turns into half an hour.

There’s a beautiful new place to play by the water at McDonald Parade Reserve, Burrill Lake, NSW. 🐬

We loved working with Shoalhaven City Council to bring this custom marine-themed playground to life for the local community.

Inspired by its lakefront setting, the new playspace includes a 4m custom tower, climbing and rope elements, swings, inclusive, sensory play features, a playful dolphin, surf shack and jellyfish musical panel.

Project Highlight | Newport Park, QLD

There’s something special about a playground that feels like it belongs to its location.

At Newport Park, the new marine-themed playground brings a touch of coastal fun to the City of Moreton Bay, with marine-inspired play equipment, junior and senior play areas, climbing nets, ground-level activities and an inclusive wheelchair carousel.

The playground works beautifully with the wider park, connecting with shelters, seating, BBQ facilities, toilets, a drinking fountain, basketball court and open green space.

We’re thrilled to hear the community feedback has been so positive.
