Outcome:         Nature Playground

Carmel Adventist College Primary approached Nature Based Play to do a design and construction of a new nature playground for an existing sand pit area at the school, as our organic style of Nature Play was a good fit for their school and natural location.

The design featured a central tumble-down cubby fort, water play timber troughs and carved rocks, with a maze of balancing logs, steppers and rocks. Also included was a loose parts cubby area and snakehead rope play for the kids to create their own nature play, and a small sitting nook. The final nature playground provided a diverse array of different play opportunities and experiences.

Balancing & Sitting: Ground Rocks and Logs and Steppers
