Jury comment
Deep Creek Eco Play celebrates play experiences that are challenging, imaginative and inclusive. Embodying an important progression in terms of how we approach play space design, the project approaches equitable design not just by providing separate opportunities for play, but by developing a holistic approach that opens up opportunities for personal liberation. The strength of the project lies in its rich consultation process and deep understanding of how to design play opportunities for all abilities. This has resulted in an outcome that connects to the sensory and tactile aspects of landscape in a fun and extremely playful way.
Deep Creek Eco Play is located in Pakenham, Victoria on the land of the Kulin people.
