Awards citation:
The Bradbury Park Playscape is a groundbreaking project that richly engages the imagination of all who encounter it. The bold design is targeted at the overlooked 10- to 15-year-old group and integrates risk taking play. A story of Connection to country is cleverly told with both the materials and details evoking adjacent flora and fauna. The Playscape’s custom design extends the client’s brief through the inclusion of self-shading and avoidance of standard playground fare. The project demonstrates a notable commitment to integrating equitable access in it’s design of the underside of the Playscape, which allows inclusive access for all commers.
