When creating a brand new playground for Modeina, there\u2019s one group you need to canvass for design input \u2013 local children!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s for this reason that a team from MDG Landscape Architects met with thirty Prep to Grade 6 students at Burnside Primary School for intel on what elements they would like to see in the park.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The designers began the session by sharing what a career in playground design involves, before showing the students some designs and letting them vote by placing one pink sticker each on the element they loved the most.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The session was a complete success, with strong enthusiasm and great suggestions from all involved. With the most votes of the day, a Flying Fox was deemed the winning suggestion, followed closely by a play tower with slides, musical instruments, and a lookout with binoculars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though not included in the initial plan for the playground, following the session, a double Flying Fox and a lookout tower with binoculars have been proposed and approved by Council. The playground will also include an all-abilities fun spinner \u2013 a favourite amongst students \u2013 and play elements that will be incorporated into the central tower.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We want to give a special thank you to all the Burnside Primary students who participated in the brainstorming sessions. The brand-new Kororoit Creek playground should be open and ready for fun in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
