ADELAIDE ZOO – NATURE’S PLAYGROUND

Constructed by LCS and Designed by WAX DESIGN, Nature’s Playground at Adelaide Zoo connects children, parents and carers to nature through play. Nature’s Playground reflects the values, aspirations and philosophies of Adelaide Zoo regarding social inclusion, education and the need to foster an understanding of the natural world in everyone.

The bespoke elevated walkway and timber pods developed in conjunction with Fleetwood Urban facilitate access for all, incorporating innovative and challenging experiences and views throughout the Zoo and Parklands beyond.

Dynamic climbing, jumping and extensive rope play opportunities are balanced with a variety of investigative and sensory interventions, a rock lined creek, is complete with water play spouts and a giant sand pit, along with musical chimes and cubby building.
