This render by the Playground Center was designed in colaboration with the CPlay committee. There will be lots of imaginative play here with trampolines, musical instruments, toddler slides, climbing and spinning. The shape is inspired by the tuna (eel).
For the under 5s we are creating an area of mounded ground shaped to explore, tunnel under, roll or slide down, hang and climb, and experience a range of natural textures. Hiding in the kid's area will be an array of native flora and fauna elements that are fun and help tell of the history of maori use of the Timaru coastline. The area will also have musical instruments and other interactive play elements.
