Golden Fields Adventure Playground

The Golden Fields playground will positively impact … our community by encouraging more families to enjoy the outdoors together.”

Marijka Ryan | Mayor | City of Tea Tree Gully

Sunshine-soaked immersive fun for all ages

Golden Fields Reserve has been rejuvenated with a spectacular upgrade, including a new adventure playground that joins the existing reserve playground within this spacious 12-hectare reserve.

Situated on the lower level, the new playground brings together a multitude of play experiences, including accessible and inclusive opportunities, high-energy adventure and spaces designed to appeal to a wide range of ages and interests.

Collaboration

The City of Tea Tree Gully wanted to create a reserve that has it all — an inclusive space with something for every age and ability.

Jointly funded by the State Government and the City of Tea Tree Gully, the $1.5 million project was developed with the vision of creating a unique destination where children can play, learn, explore and imagine.

Working with Council, Playground Centre helped bring that vision to life by extending the original reserve playground with a new adventure area that complements the existing equipment for younger children and introduces more challenging play experiences for older adventurers.

The result is a vibrant, multi-purpose playspace designed to encourage active, inclusive recreation and give families even more reasons to enjoy the great outdoors.

Solution

Golden Fields Reserve Playground is the perfect play and stay space for the whole community, fringed by easy-access paths for bikes, scooters, skateboards and prams. The original playground remains and, in combination with the new adventure playground, provides facilities for kids of all ages.

Soaring high above the ground, big kids and young adults can take a massive swing with one of the playground’s star attractions- the Super Mega Swing. It’s top bar is incredibly set at 4.2m above surface level. It’s not just about the thrill—it also delivers an unexpected workout as you soar through the air!

Right nearby the giant swing, the Pohutukawa Nature Rocker accommodates siblings and friends to rock together gently or energetically as the mood takes. Fun fact, this dynamic rocker is architecturally designed to resemble the flower of New Zealand’s iconic Christmas tree, the Pohutukawa. And when speed is of the essence, zip across the park on the super-cool 45 metre Steel Single Traveller.

This is a playground perfect for climbers, bouncers, skaters and scooters. Tramps and ramps are accessible for all, with slides that start on a flat level and bouncing mats inbuilt into the surface of the park. There is a Rage Cage and BMX track for thrill-seekers to practice tricks and show other kids how it’s done. And add to that a skate park and basketball hoop and you have a place that tempts kids and adults alike to test their skills. Whether climbing, crawling, bouncing, scooting, skating, or slam-dunking, this is a park for everyone.

And, when all that fun has tummies grumbling, the undercover picnic area is the perfect place to refuel, relax and reflect on all the fun. This park has full amenities with drinking fountains, shade sails, and toilet facilities catering for all family members, even the furry kind.
