Playground Design Guide

The sample here shows a snippet of a our design for a 60 page guideline document commissioned by the Wyndham City Council. The purpose of the guide is to provide a standard set of recommendations and technical requirements to discuss, plan and execute early childhood playgrounds across Wyndham. The design features a playful colour scheme containing swatches reminiscent of those used on play equipment. The deep etched images of children interact with the upscaled geometric graphics giving the document a fun and dynamic feel. This guide has two key audiences. The first audience is educators, early learning consultants, preschool field officers, and inclusion consultants across Wyndham involved in the delivery and design of early childhood programs. These individuals can use this guide as a professional development resource to support reflective conversation when planning, designing, and building play spaces for children. The other beneficiary of this guide are architects including landscape architectural consultants who may be subcontracted to deliver a new Long Day Care ( LDC), Sessional Kidnergarten, Playgroup or upgrade an existing playspace.
