Paying tribute to local wildlife with outdoor play equipment

KOMPAN was approached by Logan City Council to design and create a piece of equipment that would harmonise with the local environment while offering an innovative, usable playground that showcases a range of play values, helping develop kids' physical, social, creative and cognitive skills. To celebrate the local wildlife, Alexander Clark Park features sculptures of koalas, platypus, flying foxes, black cockatoos, sugar gliders, kookaburras, and a common eastern froglet scattered throughout the park. The new design would follow a similar approach in paying tribute to the local wildlife.

The outcome? An iconic tribute to the local koala population

KOMPAN designed and provided a one-of-a-kind Koala robinia play sculpture that pays tribute to the area's local koala population. Positioned as a statement piece, the Koala will be an iconic landmark for the park for years to come.

Inside the Koala is a climbing rope and steps that lead to a slide, a climbing wall, and a fireman's pole, providing children with a physical challenge and diverse options to enhance their experience. At the bottom of the Koala is a sensory play station to provide an inclusive environment for all ages. The installation provides high-quality play value for children, allowing them to climb, hang, slide, crawl, and engage their senses.

This bespoke design not only pays tribute to local wildlife and the iconic Koala but also helps develop children's physical, social, creative, and cognitive capabilities.

The customer was delighted with the outcome, and the community is over the moon with their new bespoke robinia play sculpture.
