Glenelg Foreshore Playspace has transformed a trip to the beach into an adventure that entertains children in new, imaginative and innovative ways. Promoting principles of nature play and risk-benefit, the playspace integrates opportunities for children with physical, sensory, cognitive and intellectual disabilities.
The playspace represents a new benchmark; an innovative play experience that has revitalised the Glenelg Foreshore, creating a destination where children and adults can play, socialise and connect with the coast. The design of the playspace borrows from the surrounding landscape context as well as the history and culture of the Glenelg Foreshore. The mounds and precast concrete walls reflect the waves and dune formations, reinforced by the inclusion of a giant 4.0m wide slide and elevated timber platform that form the ‘prefect break’.
