We had a big team because we needed it. We worked with playground professionals from around the country and locals

We are so greatful to our national and local businesses who helped us build the playground. We harnessed the best of national and local knowledge, to foster ownership and collaboration, ensure cultural sensitivity, and mobilize resources for the benefit of the community.

As well as making sure we were delivering the best play experience we could, we also found this approach encouraged people to support and champion the playgrounds success, people were proud to have contributed..

CPlay SignwritingMouseWheel 

Team from local Signwriters Branded Kiwi, printed and applied the signwriting to the new mouse wheel. The imagery was created by CPlay Volunteer and graphic artist Roselyn Fauth to help people learn about the shipwreck history at the Bay. The history was boiled down into symbols so people could create their own shipwreck scenario and be inspired to play it out in the playground. Resources were created so teachers could print them out and learn before visiting the playground.
