The Bluewattle Rasmussen Playground

by Urban Play Australia

Bluewattle Rasmussen, is a new master planned community designed for a life of leisure, and their new iconic play destination is sure to get everyone talking, putting this neighborhood firmly on the map.

Every resident big and small is well catered for with two state-of-the-art playgrounds, an outdoor fitness station and communal picnic and BBQ areas.

The humble butterfly is the core inspiration behind the name ‘Bluewattle’ and was the central design theme behind the custom designed playground. Rasmussen, the Ross River and surrounding areas are home to nearly half of all known butterfly species in Australia, including the ‘Wattle Blue’.

Day or night the vibrant playground is designed to bring the community together with an 11m high luminous Butterfly Garden Tower featuring two stainless steel super slides, one descending onto a negative 2m platform sure to please the thrill seekers.

The custom-made blue Corocord Butterfly is perfect for the smaller kids, giving them the opportunity to experience the fun challenge of climbing whilst stimulating cross-body coordination and balance.

Adults can also test their physical limits with a dedicated fitness station using KOMPAN’s X-ERCISE range, designed for all levels of fitness. X-ERCISE is focused on strong and flexible training of the heart, lungs, and muscles, providing a comfortable and convenient way to increase and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
