Kareela Road Reserve, Frankston
A nature-inspired haven where adventure meets imagination
The revitalised Kareela Road Reserve playground blends natural beauty with inclusive play, creating a welcoming destination for the Frankston community.

Project Overview

A nature-themed playground at Kareela Road Reserve in Frankston, designed and installed for Frankston City Council. It features a tall timber and steel play tower with enclosed spiral slide and straight slide, swings, a blue climbing spinner, picnic tables, and natural landscaping with plants, boulders, and mulch pathways.

Nature-Connected Play for the Local Community

The new playground transforms Kareela Road Reserve into a vibrant, family-friendly destination.

Surrounded by mature trees and open green space, the layout invites exploration, social connection, and imaginative play. Paths and seating areas offer comfort and accessibility for visitors of all ages.

Play Elements: Fortitude Meets Native Range

At the heart of the playground is the Wedge-Tail Nest from our Native Range, an eye-catching timber and steel tower inspired by Australia’s iconic wedge-tailed eagle. This centrepiece encourages climbing, sliding, and imaginative play for all abilities. Complementing it are elements from our Fortitude Range, including a timber spring rocker, inclusive spinner, and double timber swing with birdsnest. Additional features such as an arched timber climber and train rocker offer even more variety for younger visitors.

A Playground Designed for All Ages & Abilities

This playspace combines natural materials, inclusive design, and diverse play opportunities to engage children from toddlers to teens. The striking Wedge-Tail Nest draws attention from afar, while the surrounding elements provide options for both active and social play. The result is a well-balanced, long-lasting playground that feels part of the landscape and invites the community to return again and again.
