JJ Holland Park

Overview

Eye-catching colourful play towers

JJ Holland Park is a neigbourhood space recently upgraded by the City of Melbourne to provide more play opportunities and improve facilities for local families. adventure+ was engaged by City of Melbourne to design, manufacture and install some of the play equipment, most notably the high-impact contemporary play towers. The vision was to provide a striking, highly visible structure that added value to the surrounding landscape while catering to all ages - this sure was achieved!

Project Overview

Kensington, Vic

Client: City of Melbourne

The exciting new colourful play towers at JJ Hollands park are fun for all ages and the community's latest favourite playground destination.

Designed to stand out & attract

A key part of the plan included a stunning play structure, consisting of two colourful play towers joined by a rope bridge leading to three different slides. Clad with a mix of brightly coloured steel and timber panels, the towers are certainly the stand-out piece in the play area. This installation was designed with imaginative and creative play, as well as physical activity in mind.

While some younger children may find climbing up the 6+ metre high towers a thrill, many have to overcome fear and getting out of their comfort zone, which has huge developmental benefits. The towers are made up of a maze of staircases and platforms and require children to work together and take turns to navigate through the towers, which teaches social awareness and sharing.

Taking play seriously

At adventure+ we take play seriously, so we ensure playgrounds like the JJ Holland Park playground provide an engaging and enjoyable experience for all children and parents that visit. A well-designed playground can have enormous benefits for a child’s physical and mental well-being and our designers worked to maximise this.
