Ainslie Primary School

Scope

To create an adventure trail that provides a space for the students to run, ride and walk that is also an attractive addition to the landscape whilst providing a functional natural play space for the children.

Challenges

  • Creating a space that all students can enjoy on a small budget
  • Providing an interesting experience on a totally flat site
  • Sensitively incorporating existing trees into the design
  • Working in the space during school hours

Solutions

  • Makin Trax sourced some interesting logs and stones along with material to create mounds which the project was centred around
  • The mounds created the basis of the natural form from which everything else was designed from
  • In an effort to keep costs down the parents and friends group undertook to complete the landscaping via planting trees and other vegetation

Outcomes

North Ainslie Primary is now the owner of a beautiful, unique and very practical play space that complies with all relevant standards. It is not only a play space but and educational tool for bike skill training.
