Zuccoli Aspire Estate

Overview

Darwin’s new large play space

adventure+ worked with Fiona Eddleston from SMEC – Australia & New Zealand Division to develop this huge play space in the Zuccoli Aspire Estate. The play space features a large 6 metre tower and plethora of play activities.

Project Overview

Zuccoli, NT

Client: SMEC

New estate play space including large tower, flying fox and shade.

Play facilities for a new development

Located only 25 minutes from Darwin, the Estate will eventually contain over 2,300 homes for more than 6,000 Territorians. To provide affordability, the developer required smaller house lots, placing a greater emphasis on providing public spaces for the community to socialise, exercise and play.

Play spaces like Zuccoli Aspire Estate are vital to generate community connection, facilitate people’s need to connect with nature and to promote healthy minds and bodies.

6 metre play tower

The centrepiece of the play space is a 6-metre-high tower that soars above the tree tops, visually indicating where the play space is within overall area. The highest platform provides stunning views across the estate and surrounding bushland. Also included in the space is a 25 metre Double Flyway Flying Fox.
