WEST COAST LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
This project’s design focus was to create a nature play space that supports early language development through sensory, exploratory play. Features including a water play trough flowing down over rock, speaking pipes, and a sensory archway encourage communication, listening, and cooperative interaction. Natural play elements such as carved log and rock bowls invite imaginative play and vocabulary development, while a quiet corner with a balance log provides a calm space for regulation and gentle physical activity.

“Thank you so much for the beautiful outdoor area that your team have installed this week. The area is amazing. And the biggest reward for us came this afternoon when I took our kindy child that says the least for a walk through the area and he stopped at the glass balls in the wood and said “There is a ball in there. It’s stuck!” Amazing!”

SHENTON COLLEGE NATURE PLAYGROUND
NBP was commissioned by Shenton College to come up with a Nature Play design for their year sevens, located on an underutilised area of landscapes. The design allows for risk taking and a variety of social and adventure play areas that create a sense of relaxed play.
“The Adventure Landscape has been a huge and immediate success. It’s been fantastic to see how quickly the place has embedded itself into the community. Once again, can I take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the fantastic work from all involved.”

ST PETER’S PRIMARY SCHOOL
NBP designed and delivered a bespoke nature play space for St Peter’s Primary School that encourages imaginative, active and sensory-rich play. Drawing inspiration from the playground at Mater Christi school, the space blends natural materials and purpose-built play structures, including interactive water play zones, refuelling stations, road signage and a range of sensory elements.
Climbing is a highlight, with a mini monkey bar and timber climber leading to an elevated deck with stick ladder and slides. Children can also enjoy a range of swinging experiences, from a tree swing and a multi-swing configuration incorporating swivel seats, rope loops and a rope bridge.
The space is framed by native trees and shrubs, working with the natural surfacing to create a landscape that will grow into a well-shaded environment over time. All timber used is sustainably sourced and treated for durability, and every NBP play space is independently safety audited on completion.
