Natural Adventure & Non-Prescribed Play

Unstructured play outdoors and in nature is fundamental to a full and healthy childhood.

The Rustik Range innovates nature play and the integration of natural elements into playspace design by incorporating sustainably sourced Australian hardwood timbers with climbing challenges, outlook opportunities and non-prescribed play.

The central play element in this design, the Bellthorpe, can accommodate up to 25 users and provides elevation and climbing challenges for children aged 5-12.  Multiple points of access allow users to traverse the system from one end to the other, while the layout also offers the choice to enter or exit at each obstacle, depending on their confidence and ability.

The central climbing column spans over 4 levels before reaching the dizzying height of 2.45m, giving users incredible outlook over their whole environment.  Angled climbing nets test and build children’s proprioceptive ability as they use their muscles to scale the incline.  A raised timber bridge trials children’s balance and sure-footedness, and the elevated crawl tunnel gives a sense of exploration from one section to the next.  The final piece of the play unit, the large hangout net, gives children and their carers a place to rest and socialise.

A single bay swing offers further active play opportunities, providing children’s nervous systems with a wealth of visual, vestibular and proprioceptive information.

To encourage non-prescribed exploration of the physical environment, a number of sensory features have been included, from hand carved wooden totems to the large sandpit complete with hidden fossil digs.  Twin hand pumps allow children to stretch their muscles, working to bring water to the surface and interacting with the flow as it splashes across the rocks and stream.

This playspace design gives clear line of site for parents and carers, giving everyone the confidence they need to completely and independently explore this unique and nature-based play experience.
