Wearthy nature-based playground design

Our Process

Creating bespoke playgrounds for courageous and resilient children

"Play is the system we have evolved to facilitate the development of higher intelligence"
Nathan Wallice, Neuroscience Educator

Sustainable Materials

Natural, locally-sourced materials that age gracefully and minimise environmental impact

Native Plants

Indigenous flora that supports local ecosystems and connects children to place

Risk-Benefit Balance

Spaces where children test their limits safely while developing competence and confidence

Universal Access

Inclusive spaces that welcome children of all abilities, backgrounds, and developmental stages

The Why

Play is serious business. We work with our clients to create bespoke playgrounds and outdoor landscaping designs that help children to flourish and thrive by giving them the space to discover their own potential.

Every child deserves spaces that enable them to thrive. Our playgrounds are grounded in neuroscience and developmental psychology. We understand that play isn't just recreation; it's how children develop higher intelligence, emotional resilience, physical competence, and social connection.

Nature-based play environments provide the rich, varied, and challenging experiences that screen-based activities and structured programs can never replicate.

The How

Our proprietary discovery, design, construction and education process ensures that your new outdoor space is responsive and aligned with your values, community, environment and, most importantly, the needs and rich potentials of the children in your care.

1

Discovery

Understanding your values, community needs, and children's developmental context

2

Design

Creating responsive outdoor spaces that honor the site and serve your community

3

Construction

Building with meticulous attention to detail, safety, and craftsmanship

4

Education

Supporting your team to maximise the learning potential of the new space

The Result

We get it right when we work together. Our projects are a co-creation with our incredible clients: educators, administrators, and communities who share our vision for child-centred, nature-based learning environments.

The result is more than a beautiful playground. It's a space where children develop kindness through collaborative play, build resilience by taking appropriate risks, discover independence through unstructured exploration, and form deep connections with nature.

These are spaces where the playful beginnings of human flourishing take root.

"Our outdoor environment is rich with built-in learning opportunities that allows the children to direct and guide their own play; freeing up our educators to work alongside the learning that is happening."
