Multicultural school playground | Western Heights School, Auckland

Check out the exciting case study now on our website. https://creospace.co.nz/portfolio/wes... Ash describes the previous space as an “absolute eyesore”. The school’s central courtyard featured a big bark area with bushes and hedging, but the plants all got root rot leaving the space bare and dull. “It was really depressing to bring new families into an amazing school and have them look at a centrepiece in the centre of our school that was just horrible.” Ash Maindonald Principal Transforming the space into something that was practical, colourful, and fit for purpose was very important to the school. Ash spoke with other principals in the area who had previously worked with Creo, and asked them about their experience, the result, and how their spaces have worked out for the children at their schools, and after exploring Creo’s body of work on the website, Ash contacted the team to begin the project at Western Heights School. A big feature of the previous bark space was two large trees that the school cherished and wanted to keep in the new play area. So Creo incorporated the trees into the space, adding a permeable rubber surface at their base, allowing the trees to continue to thrive, while also providing a soft cushion landing for students who climb the trees. The new play space includes a combination of textures, play elements, and unique equipment pieces that keep kids engaged and draw people into the play space.
