Unstructured outdoor play is essential for children’s physical, emotional, and social development.
Play spaces that incorporate natural elements encourage creativity, problem-solving, and a connection to the environment.
Through comprehensive audits, community and children’s consultations, and expert recommendations, we work with schools, local governments and communities to design play areas that foster a love for nature while enhancing kids' well-being.
Our services ensure that play spaces are thoughtfully planned, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of children and the wider community.

Play Space Audits
- On-Site Visit & Assessment: Nature Play WA will conduct a thorough audit of your current play spaces, evaluating them within the broader context of the community’s overall play opportunities.
- Recommendations & Guidance: Based on the assessment, we’ll provide tailored recommendations on how to enhance or transform your outdoor areas to support nature play. This may include suggestions for natural elements, layouts, or innovative play spaces that align with your organisation’s vision.
Children & Community Consultation Workshops
- Children Consultation Workshops: We offer half day workshops designed to engage children in the planning process. Through hands-on activities and discussions, children share their ideas and preferences for the types of play elements they would like to see in the new space. This approach not only creates a custom-designed space tailored to the community but also fosters a sense of ownership and pride in the new play area.
- Community Consultation Workshops: In addition to children’s workshops, we offer education sessions with parents, community members, and other stakeholders to collaboratively develop policies and long-term plans for Nature Play. These workshops focus on aligning the needs of the broader community with the nature play vision, ensuring inclusive, well-rounded input.
