When Katie Pennicott at Sunnyvale Primary saw the playground showing its age, she didn’t just settle for a like for like—she reimagined the space entirely. Working together, we turned that vision into a vibrant, inclusive playspace where kids of all ages and abilities come together, explore, and connect. From the slide connecting classrooms to open, imaginative play areas, this playground now brings Sunnyvale’s values of creativity and connection to life every day. Want to see how it all happened?

What a great win for the Waitaki District Council and the Oamaru community. We're excited to tell their story within their public spaces. It will be amazing.

I'm excited to share this fantastic project we recently completed in Hokitika! It was a privilege to work with the Westland District Council - Te Kahui o Poutini and local community groups to bring this project to life. A massive shoutout to our incredible Creo team for designing and building this playspace—we’re truly proud of it and know it will be a great asset to the community.

Caroline Bay Playground is the result of the passion, commitment, and hard work of the CPlay community group. The group won another award last Friday: the South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce 2024.
