Project overview

The City of Casey engaged Activity Playgrounds to renew the ageing, 20-year-old playground at Buckeye Reserve in Hallam, which the local community had outgrown.

Community consultation highlighted the importance of:

  • Open play that allows children to move freely and choose their own play paths

  • A timber and steel aesthetic that fits the surrounding reserve

  • Plenty of swinging and sliding opportunities

  • Play value for a wide range of ages, from younger children through to older, more confident climbers

The result is a modern, welcoming community play space that responds directly to those priorities.

Design and layout

The new playground is organised around a central timber-and-steel combination unit with linked climbing, sliding and agility elements. Open sightlines across the reserve help carers supervise children while still giving kids a sense of independence.

Textured surfaces, rope elements and varied platform heights encourage exploration and open-ended play. The colour palette and material choices help the playground sit comfortably within the surrounding open space and nearby homes, creating a strong sense of place for the Hallam community.

Play elements

Buckeye Reserve now offers a variety of play experiences, including:

  • Large combination unit with enclosed tunnel slide and open slide

  • Agility trail with nets, balance crossings and climbing features

  • Track ride style flying fox for high-energy play

  • Multi-bay swing frame with strap seat, basket swing and toddler swing

  • Smaller junior play unit with slide for younger children

  • Spring rockers and carousel for inclusive, shared play moments
