Through play children imagine a wonderful life for themselves. It is through play that a child can become immersed in imagination providing a much-needed break from a structured day.
Schools are moving away from steel and plastic playgrounds in favour of nature play and inspired designs that foster open-ended, imaginative play. Loose parts play, dry riverbeds, mud kitchens, balance beams made from forest under the shade of mature trees are part of a new genre of playgrounds in schools.
The playground is another physical space that informs the students what the world is like, that it can be beautiful, engaging, natural and full of wonder. The playground design is also a another signal to new families that tour the grounds, informing the families as to the pedagogy of the school.
At Everything Outside we design playgrounds that invite children into a natural world within which to become immersed at break time.
We are a one-stop-shop design and construction company of showcase, stunning projects for schools on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and regional Queensland.
