Public Parks & Playspaces

Jeavons Landscape Architects design unique, fun and inclusive play spaces of all sizes and budgets in parks all over Australia.
Our thoughtful designs integrate planting, paths, furniture, and changes of level and aim to optimise the long term play and social benefits to communities. We work with local government, developers, and a wide range of agencies, and enjoy consulting communities about play and recreation in their local environment.
We have an excellent working knowledge of contemporary play equipment, spaces, planting and other elements that work for all ages while providing a high level of access and amenity.  We have developed a sophisticated understanding of safety issues and Standards, and of the benefits of risky play while minimising injury.

Local & Neighbourhood Playspaces
These important play environments cater for everyday social activities, play and recreation for whole families in local neighbourhoods. 

Our designs consider the whole park as a play setting. Open areas, paths and vegetation are balanced with multi-purpose play activities, equipment, and natural and artistic elements as required, to suit age groups, budgets and the client’s needs.

District and regional play spaces 
These major projects are designed as destinations and often attract large numbers of visitors of all ages and abilities.
Our designs integrate art works, planting, a high degree of sensory stimulation and seamless circulation, and provide a good balance between restful, relaxing areas with challenging activities that excite and stimulate.

All - abilities, contemporary design 
Our designs are multi layered and seek to engage children over time, providing choices of physical activity, challenge, creativity, imagination and social activities for all ages and abilities while retaining natural, artistic and interactive characteristics. 
Our staff have pioneered the design of accessible inclusive play spaces that welcome and stimulate children and adults with disabilities in public play spaces of all kinds, as well as special schools and all other schools and early childhood projects.
