Play equipment has been selected and designed to reflect nature, such as the wooden bee rocker, mushrooms, and the tree houses features reflect a bird and bug house. The native bird silhouettes made from corten appear on top of the wooden poles in the garden, which can be spotted using the telescope and binoculars in the tree house.
The planting selection has been chosen to attract bees and bird life, to bring wildlife into the playground.
