格伦内尔海滩游乐场
Glenelg Foreshore Playspace

蜡质设计：格伦埃尔格海滨游乐场将海滩之旅转变为一次冒险，以新颖、富有想象力和创新的方式娱乐儿童。游戏空间提倡自然游戏和风险效益原则，为身体、感官、认知和智力残疾儿童提供机会。游戏空间代表了一个新的基准；这是一次创新的游戏体验，使格伦埃尔格海滩焕然一新，创造了一个儿童和成人可以玩耍、社交和与海岸联系的目的地。游戏空间的设计借鉴了周围的景观环境以及格伦埃尔格海滨的历史和文化。土堆和预制混凝土墙反映了波浪和沙丘的形成，并通过一个4.0m宽的巨大滑道和高架木平台进行加固，形成了“完美的断裂”。攀岩墙、小房间和隧道成了供孩子们探索的巨大沙堡，而混凝土墙和色彩鲜艳的圆顶网则代表着一条抽象的海滩毛巾，覆盖在场地上。
WAX Design: Glenelg Foreshore Playspace has transformed a trip to the beach into an adventure that entertains children in new, imaginative and innovative ways. Promoting principles of nature play and risk-benefit, the playspace integrates opportunities for children with physical, sensory, cognitive and intellectual disabilities. The playspace represents a new benchmark; an innovative play experience that has revitalised the Glenelg Foreshore, creating a destination where children and adults can play, socialise and connect with the coast. The design of the playspace borrows from the surrounding landscape context as well as the history and culture of the Glenelg Foreshore. The mounds and precast concrete walls reflect the waves and dune formations, reinforced by the inclusion of a giant 4.0m wide slide and elevated timber platform that form the ‘prefect break’. The climbing wall, cubby and tunnel become a giant sandcastle for children to explore while the concrete walls and brightly coloured dome net represent an abstracted beach towel draped over the site.

以自然为基础的游戏元素从当地植被中汲取灵感。红树林的结构和气生根反映在定制的木材攀爬、绳索平衡和木板路上。红树林的潮间带环境被重新想象为巨大沙坑中的水游戏。游戏空间整合了不同的挑战梯度，适合所有年龄、性别、文化和能力，不受隔离或限制。这种方法使儿童能够做出决定，获得信心并应对不同程度的风险。
The nature based play elements draw inspiration from the indigenous vegetation of the area. The structure and aerial roots of mangroves are reflected in the custom timber log climb, rope balance and boardwalk. The intertidal environment of the mangroves is reimagined as water play in the giant sand pit. A diverse gradient of challenge is integrated across the playspace, catering for all ages, genders, cultures and abilities without segregation or restraint. This approach enables children to make decisions, gain confidence and tackle different levels of risk.

可持续性原则贯穿于项目的各个方面。所有现有的树木都被保留下来，种植大量树木作为长期的遮荫策略。选择当地本地植物以提供更多的生物多样性。该项目还首次在南澳大利亚制作了“活的软草坪”原型，提供了一种不断增长的冲击衰减解决方案，而不是人工表面。许多游戏元素都使用了可再生材料，选择木材和绳索，而不是钢和塑料。此外，大部分设备是在澳大利亚定制设计和制造的，WAX与当地制造商合作创建定制的游戏元素。
Sustainability principles were embedded in every aspect of the project. All the existing trees were retained, with the planting of numerous trees as a long-term shade strategy. Local native plants were selected to provide additional biodiversity. The project also prototyped ‘Living Soft Fall Turf’ for the first time in South Australia, providing a growing impact attenuation solution, rather than artificial surfaces. Renewable materials are utilised in many of the play elements, with timber and rope selected over steel and plastic. Also, a high proportion of the equipment is custom designed and made in Australia, with WAX collaborating with local manufacturers to create bespoke play elements.

该项目涉及广泛的参与过程，使社区特别是儿童能够影响设计和决策。通过“家庭欢乐日”参与，利用认知地图和偏好投票，提供有关社区对游戏空间的想法和愿望的信息。通过理事会网站提供了进一步反馈，该网站强调了对该项目的大力支持。
The project involved an extensive engagement processes that empowered the community and particularly children, to influence the design and decisions made. Engagement through a ‘Family Fun Day’ used cognitive mapping and preference voting to provide information regarding the community’s ideas and aspirations for the playspace. Further feedback was given through the Council’s website which highlighted strong support for the project.

该项目展示了创新和高质量的游戏空间可以带来的社区效益。Glenelg Foreshore游乐场创造了一个聚集和互动的场所，在振兴和激活邻近商业和旅游区的同时，促进包容，而不考虑社会或经济因素。游戏空间为前滩注入了新的活力，创造了一项有价值的资产，如今它已成为南澳大利亚州一个典型的游戏目的地。自2016年1月开业以来，两百多名儿童和成人不断前来参观，以此衡量其成功与否。
The project demonstrates the community benefit that can be delivered by an innovative and high quality playspace. The Glenelg Foreshore Playspace has created a place of congregation and interaction that fosters inclusion, irrespective of the social or economic factors while revitalising and activating adjacent commercial and tourism areas. The playspace has reinvigorated the Foreshore creating a valued asset which is now an exemplary play destination in South Australia. Its success is measured by the two hundred plus children and adults who constantly visit since the opening in January 2016.
