sydney children's hospital, randwick

The George Gregan Foundation playground at Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick was officially opened in May 2010.

The all-access playground has been created as the most superb fusion of natural areas with beautiful trees and plants, kids' play equipment and a treasure trove of games and creatures to explore. It provides a truly relaxing oasis for all those kids and families needing an escape from the hospital wards.

The major focus of the playground is an incredible diorama wall which features many hidden spaces and surprise elements for children to enjoy.

welcome

ultimately I am most proud of my efforts to raise enthusiasm and to empower communities to:

• create exciting, diverse and secure naturalistic playspaces that do not rely solely on structures
• incorporate art and design elements that encourage interaction, engagement and wonder
• create places that better meet the social, emotional, spiritual as well as physical needs and aspirations of all children and the adults that may accompany them
