GCIT Children's Centre, Ashmore

The GCIT Ashmore Toddler Yard Upgrade transformed the outdoor play environment into a safe, engaging and developmentally appropriate space designed specifically for young children. Delivered by Play The Wilde, this childcare playground upgrade combines imaginative play opportunities, sensory experiences and nature-based elements to support early childhood learning and development.

At the heart of the project is a custom-built fort with an integrated tunnel, encouraging exploration, physical activity and imaginative play. New softfall surfacing provides a safe and durable foundation for active play, while landscaped garden edging helps define play zones and introduces natural elements into the environment. A water mister adds a refreshing sensory experience, creating opportunities for interactive outdoor play throughout the warmer months.

Additional play features were carefully selected to promote curiosity, social interaction and hands-on discovery, resulting in a well-balanced outdoor learning environment that supports children's physical, cognitive and social development. The completed upgrade delivers an inviting and engaging toddler playspace that encourages confidence, creativity and connection with the natural environment.
