Option 1 – A Day in the Bush
Inspired by the natural bushland setting of DC Foster Park, A Day in the Bush creates a welcoming playspace that reflects its surroundings through earthy tones, pops of green and bright wattle yellow.
Inclusive play is central to the design, with accessible pathways connecting children to a variety of play experiences. The Wheelspin, trampoline and basket swing encourage active play, while talk tubes and the Babel Drum support sensory exploration and social interaction. A drive-through garage and shop provide opportunities for imaginative role play and shared play experiences.
Bringing together active, sensory and imaginative play, this option offers something for children of all ages and abilities while celebrating the character of the local bushland.
Option 2 – Ocean Breeze
Inspired by Bunbury's coastal identity, Ocean Breeze brings the colours and character of the ocean into DC Foster Park through a palette of blues, greys and natural tones.
The Osprey Multiplay Unit provides climbing, balancing and sliding opportunities, including a tube slide and hammock net. The coastal theme continues through the Fish & Chippy playhouse, Sarah the Seahorse Springer and Tic Tac Toe Fish Panel, encouraging imaginative, sensory and social play. Swings, steppers and a rotating pyramid add further opportunities for active play and skill development.
Ocean Breeze combines physical, imaginative and social play in a vibrant coastal-themed setting inspired by Bunbury's connection to the ocean.
Option 3 – The Treehouse
Inspired by the mature trees of DC Foster Park, The Treehouse creates an adventurous playspace designed to encourage climbing, exploration and discovery.
At its centre is a new Mini Play Tower, featuring elevated platforms, skillion roofs and the feel of a contemporary treehouse nestled amongst the surrounding canopy. Children can challenge themselves on net climbers, a rock wall, monkey bars and Walk the Plank, before enjoying two slides, including a curved tube slide.
Ground-level features such as the Swirl Spinner, Talking Daisies, Giant 4-in-a-Row and an all-abilities swing broaden the play experience through movement, sensory engagement and social interaction, creating a destination that balances adventure with inclusive play opportunities.
