Project Brief

A nature play space designed for safe, adventurous learning

MYBUILD Commercial delivered a purpose-built nature play space at Caravonica State School. The project focused on utilising the natural slope of the site to create an engaging and compliant outdoor environment that promotes physical activity, creativity, and exploration.

The completed space was carefully designed to support outdoor learning while maintaining safe access, durable construction, and long-term usability for students and staff.
