About the Project
The Dharawal Nature Playspace Project delivers a unique outdoor playspace surrounded by its river and bushland setting and inspired by Aboriginal culture, people and the local environment. The project engages visitors in a creative, immersive, fun, educational and tactile experience to build understanding of Dharawal Country.
The space is co-designed with the Dharawal communities to support and celebrate Aboriginal culture and connection to country. The design incorporates the principles of "Everyone Can Play", providing an educational and immersive space for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
