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.
