Client: Lake Joondalup Baptist College
Location: Kennedya Drive Joondalup, WA
Date: Jan, 2020
Outcome: Landscaped Nature Playground

Lake Joondalup Baptist College contacted NBP to submit a concept and design proposal for a Nature based Adventure Playground for their primary school area.  After initial meetings and putting forward our business ethos and design ideas, NBP was awarded the contract to develop a concept design for a Primary Adventure Playground for the College, and to build Stage 1 of the design.

 Working closely with the School Primary Deans and wellbeing officers, NBP developed a design that met the schools needs in terms of an outdoor playground, and in providing strong student wellbeing and pedagogy outcomes that the school is invested in.

The final outcome was a complete transformation of the existing lawn area, creating a natural landscape with mounds and swales, and a variety of Nature Play items including Water Play, Climbing and Balancing items, Sensory areas and Loose Parts Play. All finished off with natural landscaping including a variety of planting, mulching and sandpits.
