The Play Island

This gorgeous installation protect the “play island” where different age groups and abilities explore and find their fit in the playground with both junior and senior play equipment, multi-user swing and a standard swing for toddlers and older children.

Developed by Mirvac as part of its Gainsborough Greens master-planned community, The new 15 hectare precinct include’s two full-size AFL fields along with playground, picnic and sporting amenity.

Our favourite feature in the project would have to be the inter-connectivity of the shade sails that emulate the infamous Gabba Stadium’s form.

Elements Of Design

The high and low posts keep the sail tight while optimising shading to the community of Pimpama.

Shade sails add visual appeal and tie in with play elements that define the area. The classic hypar (twisted) triangle shade sail work so well for this application as it hold its shape and adds an architectural look and feel to the area.
