Play space Tours
Play is vital for the development of children. They develop physically, socially and emotionally through play. Children’s play encompasses four basic types – active, passive, creative and social. The best playground or play area accommodates areas which allow those types of play. These areas are true play environments or play spaces.

The Kidsafe play space is a demonstration of a best practice play space. It displays a variety of undersurfacing eg, organic mulch and synthetic products, as well as exploratory play areas including a dry creek bed and sandpit and examples of social, active, passive play areas such as a timber platform, fixed equipment and cubby area. It also displays suitable options for plants and shade structures.
