Gumnut Park
Donnybrook’s Gumnut Playground is a whimsical escape into the world of May Gibbs’ Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. This impressive playspace is an ode to the power of imagination and the importance of creating engaging environments for children.
Project Overview
- Budget (Equipment Only)
- $210,000 – $240,000
At the heart of this magical realm stand towering gumnut structures, reminiscent of the beloved storybook characters.
Designed by MDG Landscape Architects, each gumnut is interconnected by Kaebel Leisure’s custom-designed rope mesh tunnels, inviting young explorers to climb, crawl, and discover. The playground’s design seamlessly blends with the surrounding River Red Gums and creates a truly immersive experience for children.
From the moment they step into the playground, children are transported to a world of wonder. The towering gumnut structures, combined with the challenging yet accessible rope tunnels, offer endless opportunities for physical activity, imaginative play, and social interaction. This unique playspace is a testament to the importance of creating environments that inspire and delight children of all ages.
