Lightwood Parklands

For their new development Riverbank, greenfield property developers Peet engaged landscape architects at Saunders Havill to create an outdoor recreation hub that would engage new residents of all ages.

The architects chose world-class play and fitness equipment manufactured and supplied by KOMPAN and added sports zones, a pump track, and ample park amenities.

Choosing an Ocean theme, the destination play space has a diverse selection of equipment that highlights the location close to Redland Bay. The soaring GIANTS tower, climbing net and solitaire freestanding items depict sharks, fish, coral, seaweed and dolphins for immersive role-play.

Adults can also enjoy the durable and effective KOMPAN outdoor fitness zone, which utilises the popular Fit App to guide users through sweat-inducing exercises. The 'stay factor' is a much-appreciated aspect of this park: comfort for older visitors and guardians is catered to with plenty of shade, toilet blocks, barbecues, picnic tables and parking close by.

This playground has something for everyone! Adventurous kids will be instantly drawn to the large commercial play structure at the centre of the playground. KOMPAN's Ocean Dome and sky-high Ocean Giants tower immediately appeal to children with their physical climbing and sliding activities, recognisable theme, and spots to perch and observe other players in the area.

For younger children, they will enjoy the low-level play on the tower like the hammocks, puzzle play panel and talking tubes, while the Dolphin springer continues the theme and provides a slow and gentle (or fast and exciting!) rocking experience.

Other playground equipment like the Tipi Carousel and 3-way seesaw prompt thrilling social play while the birds nest swing and wooden sand and water play station offer creative and sensory play opportunities.

Adults can achieve a rewarding workout while kids play with the nearby outdoor gym area which includes calisthenics exercise equipment for body weight-based exercises.
