When we first walked through Ashmore Community Children’s Centre, you could feel it straight away.
The tracks were worn in from years of little feet.
The space had history.
It had been properly used… and loved.
Not every project starts with a clean slate.
This one came with a responsibility to understand it first.
What’s working.
What’s been lost.
Where it’s starting to fall short.
We didn’t treat it as a renovation—more a series of careful adjustments.
Strengthening what was already there.
Leaving the parts that mattered… untouched.
There’s something honest about older playgrounds.
They show you what kids actually use, not what we think they will.
This one just needed a bit of care to breathe new life and magic into it. #

At Play the Wilde Collective, we specialize in playground construction and landscape design on the Gold Coast.
Our focus is on creating innovative and sustainable playgrounds, incorporating elements like playscapes, rubber softfall, and artificial grass.
Nice curves. Tight fit. No shortcuts. 👌
From shaping smooth flowing lines to tapping that last block perfectly into place — this is the standard we hold ourselves to. Precision cuts. Seamless joins. Solid foundations.
Great to start seeing real progress on site at – Ellen Grove. Excited to see this space coming to life. 🌿
Built properly. Built to last.

We’re so grateful to see the Kindy Bush Track upgrades being loved already. 💚
This space has been such a joy to create — a place where children can explore, imagine and connect with nature in their own way.
Hearing your excitement means everything to us. Thank you for the beautiful words and for trusting us with this special project. 🌿✨

🌿🔬 Love seeing curiosity come alive at Cooma North Public School’s STEM event! 💡
Hands-on learning like this is what inspires future thinkers, makers, and nature lovers — we might just be looking at a few future Play the Wilde team members here 😉🌱
It’s wonderful to see young minds exploring how science, creativity, and the natural world connect. Bravo, Cooma! 👏

🌿 Project Spotlight — Gardenia Early Learning, Granville
This small yard proves you don’t have to be mighty to make a big impact. Designed by and brought to life by our Play the Wilde Collective team, this upgrade transformed a compact space into a dynamic and engaging outdoor play area.
Featuring a new bike track, monkey bars, and a balance of natural surfacing and planting, the space encourages movement, strength, and creative exploration — showing how even small play zones can offer big opportunities for active learning. 🌱
