Sensory Playground
Outdoor play spaces designed to engage every sense
Children experience the world through their senses. At Wearthy, we design sensory-rich outdoor play environments that engage touch, sight, sound, smell, movement, and body awareness. Our sensory playgrounds support children's sensory processing development while providing rich, nature-based play experiences.
With 200+ playgrounds delivered across Australia, we understand how to create spaces that balance stimulating and calming sensory inputs. Our designs cater to all children, including those with sensory processing differences, ensuring every child can engage meaningfully with their outdoor environment.
Textured walls, sand pits, mud kitchens, bark surfaces, smooth stones, and varied planting that children can touch, manipulate, and explore with their hands and feet.
Colour gardens, light and shadow features, reflective surfaces, moving elements like wind spinners, and natural patterns that stimulate visual tracking and attention.
Musical instruments, wind chimes, water features, rustling grasses, bird-attracting plants, and sound tubes that develop auditory discrimination and attention.
Swings, spinning elements, balance beams, stepping stones, slopes, and climbing structures that develop the vestibular system and support coordination and balance.
Heavy work activities like digging, pushing, pulling, climbing, and carrying. Log balance beams, rope bridges, and boulder scrambles that build body awareness and regulation.
Aromatic herb gardens, flowering native plants, eucalyptus, lavender, and sensory paths through natural landscapes that engage smell and connect children with the environment.
