A park close to home in the back streets of Coburg.
Project
The Kirrip biik Park was created as part of the Merri-bek City Council’s “A park close to home” initiative. The site was originally home to two dilapidated homes, one weatherboard, the other red brick.
Following the purchase and clearance of the site, the council put out a tender to transform the land into a locals park, where the many young families in the area could gather and enjoy being outdoors.
Design
Following a successful tender submission, the Urbania team put together an extensive landscape package for the park. This included both hard and softscape, extensive irrigation, winding concrete footpaths and custom timber work, including raised garden beds for community vegie gardening.
Equipment
Centrepiece of the Kirrip biik Park is the stunning moveArt Climbslide playsculpture, which we supplied and installed. Its innovative design catches the eye of every parent in the park, whilst their kids go crazy clambering all over it.
Review
Popular mummy blogger Mama Knows had a sneak peak, visiting the park before it had been officially named by the council.
