Devonport
Tasmania / Australia / 2021
The Devonport Living Cities Masterplan is one of the largest urban regeneration projects in northern Tasmania. Located on the banks of the River Mersey, the park is considered the jewel in the crown of the project and has been named Park of the Year 2024 by Parks & Leisure Australia.
Designed by ASPECT Studios, the park draws heavily on the local landscape, particularly its unique geology and flora. The creation of the park has completely transformed this once unloved area and created a wonderful first impression for visitors arriving here on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry.
Working with VOS Construction, our Australian partner Urbania designed and built a series of bespoke timber elements made from recycled Australian hardwood. We also supplied several pieces of play equipment handmade in Frasdorf, including a large pyramid tower, a climbing structure, a playground pump and a tunnel slide. In particular, the pyramid tower with tunnel slide, which can be seen from afar, and the large climbing structure, which stands right next to the water, make this playground a very special place with an unmistakable identity.
