Moduplay_Playground Planning Guide

4 © Copyright 2021 Moduplay Group Pty Ltd LANDSCAPE INTEGRATED PLAY Landscape Integrated Play is orientated around fully landscaped spaces with custom built play elements and is becoming more common on larger projects. As the project shown implies this kind of playground is constructed entirely of unique play experiences involving the landscape. It will usually include the use of familiar play elements such as nets, slides and perhaps some independent play elements but the predominant experience is that the play is integrated into the environment. It may include mounds and sunken areas, dry or wet creek beds, terraced areas that lead to new elevated play experiences and specially made bridges of nets or any other material 1. Offers a wholistic approach to play where children can engage with nature as they move between play activities and explore the surrounding. 1. Obviously there is a lot of extra cost with this style of play area. A significant proportion of the available funds will be needed to construct the landscape features. 2. The play area has a natural appearance and has a look of “belonging” to the site if designed and built well. 2. Ongoing maintenance costs will be higher than a playground that has less “natural” elements (particularly gardens, digging areas, plantings and grassed areas) that tend to need more care to retain their appeal.
