The brief called for a playground that worked across ages — not one structure doing everything, but three structures each doing one thing well.

The 149-MIN Mini Maniana Fort for younger climbers: circular fort, dual platforms, rope net approach.

The 431-MMC Maniana Monkey Climber for those ready for a proper challenge: pommel steppers, rope traverse & more...

The 148-MAN Maniana Mania Towers for the adventurous ones: 8.4 metres, three circular towers, two giant tube slides. 🪵

Vivid colour runs throughout — fuchsia, orange, warm yellow, circular accents on every structure. 🔶

Aaron Boultbee, VRI Senior Designer:
"And then you walk onto site and see it in the ground — and it just looks right."

📍 Maniana Park, Queens Park — open October 2025.

Now in Success, WA. The Mosman Forts. 🪵

Two linked Jarrah platforms connected by a rope tunnel bridge. Log scramble, climbing wall, dual wave slides, and a fireman's pole — multiple routes up, two ways down.

Debut installation at Waterbuttons Park, City of Cockburn.

The 167-MOS Mosman Forts is handcrafted at our O'Connor workshop for children aged 5–12 and available for WA installation or supply-only across Australia. 📩

Luke Priddle designed this 4-tonne timber motorhome. After 450+ hours of predominantly West Australian Jarrah craftsmanship — every beam, every joint considered before a single cut was made — this is how he described the result: "Everywhere you look everything has been executed meticulously — no fixing out of line, every brushstroke done with care." 🪵

This is what bespoke holiday park playground equipment looks like when a team genuinely cares. Swipe through and meet the people behind the build. 🏕️

This is actually our second project with this client. We first worked together at Riverside Holiday Park in Bunbury, where we installed a bespoke timber Caravan play structure. When the brief for Dunsborough came in, the standard only went up.

Blank page ➜ concept sketch ➜ 3D model ➜ reality. 🪵

BIG4 Southern Stars Holiday Park wanted something no catalogue could offer. Our design team delivered a life-size timber motorhome playground — predominantly West Australian Jarrah, 450+ hours of workshop craftsmanship.

"Around every corner there was something intricate to be discovered — you could tell they really cared about what they were building." 🏕️

Every beam and joint documented in 3D before a single cut was made. That's what happens when a team genuinely cares about the outcome.

The Next Chapter for Dayton Primary School 🏫🌱

We know that for a school, a playground isn't just for recess—it's the social heart of the school.

We were proud to return to Dayton Primary to deliver the next stage of their play space, perfectly aligning with their motto, "Growing Together."

The Design Strategy: ✅ New Adventure: We installed our VRI Timber Ship—a catalogue standard that delivers high-impact imaginative play and serves as a visual anchor for the upgraded upper school play area. ✅ An Existing Favourite: The Beehive Cubby. Installed in Stage 1, this stunning Jarrah structure continues to be a buzzing social hub where students gather, climb, and connect.✅ Quality Finish: Built with premium WA Jarrah and Australian steel to ensure it holds up to the daily energy of hundreds of students.

It is fantastic to see the school's vision unfolding stage by stage.

➡️ We’re thrilled to showcase our collaborative work at the new Inspira Kids Early Learning Centre in Lakelands!

This project was a fantastic partnership, bringing a truly imaginative design to life. We had the privilege of fabricating and installing the incredible concepts from the team at Plan E Landscape Architects, including:

🚢 Two bespoke timber "shipwreck" playgrounds (one for older kids and a dedicated one for toddlers!)
🚲 A custom imaginative play village featuring a "Bike Shop" and "Fish Shop"
🥁 A full sensory play area with our 773-DDR Djembe Drums and a custom bridge.

A massive thank you to the entire Plan-E Landscape Architects team for their visionary design and to Deep Green Landscaping for their expert landscaping and site work that tied it all together. This is WA collaboration at its best! 🛠️
