Newcomb Primary School playground

A playground designed to inspire courage, confidence, and resilience through movement and exploration.

Project Overview

Project Overview

Activity Playgrounds partnered with Newcomb Primary School in Newcomb VIC to design and manufacture a customised obstacle course playground tailored to the school’s active primary students.

Based on our popular Perseverance Circuit 7 Combination, this project delivers a high-performance school playground designed to support strength, agility and confidence-building through structured physical challenge. The result is a dynamic obstacle-style playground that encourages movement, resilience and repeatable fitness-focused play within a defined school environment.

Designed and manufactured in Victoria using Australian steel, this Perseverance range playground reflects our commitment to locally built, durable school playground equipment that meets Australian Standards.

Design and Layout

The obstacle course was configured to create a clear start-to-finish circuit, encouraging students to progress through each element in sequence. This structured layout supports group participation, physical education activities and informal competitive play.

Positioned along the school boundary, the design maximises available space while maintaining strong visibility for supervision. The linear configuration allows students to move efficiently between climbing, balancing and upper-body challenges without congestion.

As with all Activity Playgrounds projects, the structure was designed in-house and manufactured locally, ensuring quality control, long-term durability and compliance with AS 4685 safety standards.

Play Elements

This Perseverance obstacle course at Newcomb Primary School includes:

  • Start and finish frames to define the circuit

  • Overhead monkey bars for upper body strength

  • Swinging ring elements to challenge grip and coordination

  • Vertical climbing wall panels

  • Warped Wall for strength and confidence-building

  • Balance stepping pods for agility and stability

  • Horizontal bar challenges for endurance and control

Together, these elements create a physically engaging obstacle course playground that supports coordination, muscle development and progressive skill building for primary school students.

Built for Strength. Designed for Challenge.

The Perseverance Range is a collection of strength-based obstacle playground equipment designed to challenge, engage and develop growing bodies. Inspired by structured challenge courses, the range features climbing, traversing and upper body elements that support balance, coordination and progressive skill development in school and community environments.
