Taronga
Western Plains Zoo’s Safari Park children’s playground has won the
Kidsafe 2010 National Playspace Design Awards for public playspaces in
Regional Parks.
The
Zoo’s Safari Park playground designed by Spackman Mossop Michaels
landscape architects, with Taronga Western Plains Zoo and artist Tim
Johnman, topped a competitive field of playspaces to take top honours in
the Regional Parks category.
Everyone
involved in the project is very excited about receiving this award
which reaffirms how wonderful this play area is for families visiting
the Zoo.
The
most exciting aspect to this announcement is that this award-winning
playground will soon be part of the new free access area of the Zoo
which opens in November.
This
playground area will be a new, free recreational space for Dubbo, and
it is reassuring to parents that their children can play safely in this
great space.
The Kidsafe Awards recognise excellence and innovation in the provision of safe, creative playspaces across Australia.
