Your Guide to the Playground Creation Process

Building Exceptional Playgrounds

adventure+ playgrounds are sought after across Australia for their inspired designs and efficient processes, ensuring every project delivers outstanding quality and value from concept through to installation.

We specialise in designing, manufacturing, and installing truly unique playgrounds nationwide. Working hand-in-hand with councils, developers, schools, and landscape architects, we bring together high-quality equipment, creative flair, rigorous safety standards, and dedicated service to craft safe, engaging play environments.

Our expertise lies in seamlessly combining innovative design with expert construction, providing a complete end-to-end solution for every client.

With more than 40 years of experience, we’ve perfected a distinctive modular system, meticulously engineered to meet all required standards and regulations, while offering unrivalled flexibility and reliability.

Every adventure+ project unfolds in four stages: consultation, design, manufacture, and installation.

Consultation

Every great playground begins with a conversation. During the consultation phase, adventure+ collaborates with landscape architects, councils, or schools to deeply understand each client’s unique vision and requirements.

Councils usually invite playground companies to tender or quote based on a defined project brief.

For schools, the process is a true team effort. adventure+ engages with principals, staff, parents, and even students, carefully measuring the site, gathering wish lists (such as preferred equipment and themes), and discussing creative options from vibrant colour palettes to imaginative play concepts. This consultative approach ensures every design is tailored to the site, users, and budget.

At every step, our team brings decades of expertise to guide clients through considerations of site limitations, safety standards, long-term durability, budget requirements, and any special requests, ensuring a truly customised playground outcome.

Design

Once we’ve gathered all your insights and aspirations, our design team brings your playground vision to life in the design stage. Here, our designers translate your brief into a thoughtful, site-specific plan focused on creativity, safety, and user experience.

We know that each client’s priorities differ. Some focus on value and appearance, while others need the new playground to seamlessly integrate into a broader landscape vision. These priorities shape every element of our approach.

While we have a diverse catalogue of proven products, the majority of our projects are custom-built using all the feedback and ideas from the consultation phase. Our innovative modular system is at the heart of our design flexibility, allowing guardrails, platforms, slides, and other components to be configured in countless ways, much like building with Lego®. This empowers us to tailor every playground’s style, cladding, and materials to your desired look, play needs, and budget.

This modular approach also keeps costs manageable and streamlines construction and installation, ensuring each project is delivered with efficiency and minimal disruption, all backed by our commitment to open, proactive communication.

Our design team leverages a broad spectrum of construction styles and quality materials, including spectrum+ steel, to ensure the perfect fit for your site. For example, the Steamrail Adventure Playground at Millars Landing in WA showcases how we turn creative sketches into practical, compliant, and visually impressive realities even as plans evolve with stakeholder feedback along the way.

adventure+ employs a dedicated team of designers, producing detailed plans and illustrations so you can easily visualise your new play space. Safety and compliance remain central throughout our experts’ proactively account for Australian Playground Standards, considering factors like neck and finger entrapment, fall zones, and protective barriers so your playground isn’t just fun, but genuinely safe and built to last.

Manufacture

With your playground design approved, adventure+ gets to work at our Melbourne manufacturing facility, giving every project a local advantage. Our Australian-based production delivers faster turnarounds, ensures strict quality control, and means adapting colours or making late-stage changes is both simple and quick.

Unlike imported equipment, which can involve long lead times and make last-minute changes difficult or impossible, our local operation keeps every aspect agile and responsive. Need a spare part or urgent repair? We can supply and install replacements fast, minimising playground downtime and maximising play opportunities.

Our in-house powder coating plant further speeds up delivery and puts us in complete control of finish and colour, guaranteeing both durability and a flawless result every time.

Install

When it’s time to bring the playground to life, adventure+ leads a seamless installation process from start to finish. Our experienced installation team is skilled in our modular system, allowing most projects to be completed in just two to four days for smaller sites or up to two weeks for larger playgrounds, minimising delays and keeping school or community disruption to a minimum.

We take pride in future-proofing every project, factoring maintenance needs into the original design, so replacement parts are readily available and easy to install if ever needed. Our local manufacturing capability ensures you won’t face long waits; any repairs can be completed quickly, keeping your play space safe and open.

The real key to adventure+ success is our commitment to exceptional organisation and project management. With proven systems and dedicated expertise at every step, we deliver playground solutions that are dependable, efficient, and proudly made in Australia.
