Playscape Design
Complete solutions for new or refurbished playscapes
AG Playscapes have a team of expert landscape designers with over 30 years experience in developing Playscapes for some of the most prominent childcare centres across Australia.
AG Playscapes understand landscaping fundamentals, as well as the Standards and regulations required within the playground industry.
There is a lot to consider within a playscape, including fall zones & impact areas, attenuating surfacing and ratings, accessibility for educators, sun and shade requirements, site preparation, clear space, product placement, functionality, drainage plus loads more. Not to mention the overall learning philosophy of the Centre.
Our designs are made possible through our experienced Landscaping Designers. Our construction teams are comprised of highly skilled and experienced landscape professionals, who are experienced in working collaboratively with builders, contractors and consultants.
Our Design Philosophy
Building spaces where imagination and nature meet.
At AG Playscapes, every playground we design begins with a simple idea – play should feel natural, safe, and inspiring. Our philosophy blends the creativity of custom design with the responsibility of sustainable, child-centred construction.
Nature-Inspired Play
We believe the best playgrounds grow out of the landscape itself. From timber forts to dry creek beds and sensory gardens, our designs invite children to explore textures, sounds, and movement in a way that connects them to the natural world. We use authentic materials – Australian hardwoods, stone, sand, and plants to create playscapes that feel organic, grounded, and alive.
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability isn’t an afterthought, it’s built into every decision we make. We source responsibly harvested timbers, recycled and recyclable materials, and partner with local fabricators to reduce transport and waste. Our playscapes are designed to last, minimising replacement and maintenance while maximising environmental benefit.
Safety & Certification
Every AG Playscapes project is constructed in line with current Australian Playground Safety Standards. Where required, we can coordinate independent compliance audits to verify certification and safety performance.
Interactive & Imaginative Design
Our playscapes go beyond swings and slides. We design interactive elements that encourage storytelling, teamwork, and problem-solving, from climbable vehicles and sensory panels to bridges, tunnels, and forts that evolve with the child’s imagination. Each design is unique to its environment, crafted to engage curiosity and spark creative play.
Built for Childhood. Built to Last
Every piece we construct is engineered for longevity under Australia’s tough conditions. Our playscapes are more than just beautiful spaces – they’re durable, sustainable, and purpose-built for the way children play today.
