为所有儿童提供游乐机会

Provide Fun Opportunities for All Children

大自然的游乐场为所有的社区成员提供了一个独特的游戏环境。

作为一个非盈利组织，阿德莱德动物园与儿童慈善机构Variety合作，资助并为有身体、感官、认知和智力障碍的儿童提供游乐机会。

Significantly, Nature’s Playground uniquely accommodates all members of the community providing an inclusive play environment.

As a not for profit organisation, Adelaide Zoo partnered with Variety the Children’s Charity to fund and deliver play opportunities for children with physical, sensory, cognitive and intellectual disabilities.

该项目的基本理念是让所有年龄、性别、文化和能力的儿童通过游戏从大自然中学习，使儿童能够培养做出决定、承担风险的能力以及适应力并从中获得乐趣。

攀爬、跳跃和绳索游戏挑战包括一条岩石林立的小溪,里面有蝌蚪可以探索，以及戏水喷口、一个巨大的沙坑、音乐风铃和小房间建筑。

The underlying philosophy of the project is for children of all ages, genders, cultures and abilities to learn from nature through play, enabling children to make decisions, take risks, develop resilience and have fun. 

Climbing, jumping and rope play challenges include a rock lined creek, complete with tadpoles to explore, water play spouts, a giant sand pit, musical chimes and cubby building.

代表不同生态系统的游乐空间

Play Spaces Representing Various Ecosystems

一个定制的四米高的高架人行道和木舱提供适合轮椅的通道和特别的游客体验，不限人的年龄或行动能力。

人行道和木舱还融合了复杂、创新和具有挑战性的游戏体验以及整个动物园的景观。

A custom four metre high elevated walkway with timber pods provides wheelchair compliant access and a unique visitor experience irrespective of age or mobility.

The walkway and pods also incorporate sophisticated, innovative and challenging play experiences as well as views throughout the Zoo.

游乐空间

Space for play

游戏空间以地球上主要的生物群落为基础，允许动物园将教学项目扩展到自然游乐场。这些生物群落提供了大量的教育机会，让孩子们可以在自然环境中学习。

溪流代表以戏水为主的水生系统，沙坑则代表炎热的沙漠环境。竹迷宫、蹦床和草地风铃重现了大草原。

The playspace is based on the planet’s major Biomes and allows the Zoo to expand teaching programs into Nature’s Playground. These biomes provide numerous educational opportunities allowing children to learn through the natural environment. 

The creek represents aquatic systems focusing on water play, and the sand pit demonstrates the hot desert environments. The bamboo maze, trampolines, and grass chimes recreate the Savannah.

可持续景观设计的融入

Integration of Sustainable Landscape Design

可持续性原则融入了项目的各个方面。通过拆除周围的基础设施和使用可渗透的表面，保留和培育了重要的树木。其他树木被保留或重新安置在游乐区内，种植许多额外的树木作为长期遮荫策略。

Sustainability principles were embedded in every aspect of the project. Significant trees were retained and nurtured with the removal of surrounding infrastructure and the use of permeable surfaces. Other trees were preserved or relocated within the playspace, with the planting of numerous additional trees as a long-term shade strategy.

该场地的许多元素都被回收和重新利用，包括岩石、原木、座椅、雕塑、铺路、覆盖物和土壤。

许多游戏元素都使用了可再生材料，特别是回收的木材和绳索。大部分设备是定制设计和澳大利亚制造的，WAX与当地制造商合作打造定制元素。

Many elements of the site were reclaimed and repurposed including rocks, logs, seats, sculptures, paving, mulches, and soils.

Renewable materials were utilised in many of the play elements, particularly salvaged timber and rope. A high proportion of the equipment is custom designed, and Australian made, with WAX collaborating with local manufacturers to create bespoke elements.

儿童们的想法融入设计过程

该项目涉及人们广泛的参与，鼓励社区参与设计过程。通过动物园教育中心的咨询提供了有关儿童想法的信息，并通过讨论提供了进一步的反馈，以确保实现包容性的游玩。

The project involved extensive engagement that encouraged the community to influence the design process. Consultation through the Zoo’s education centre provided information regarding children’s ideas, and further feedback was given through discussion to ensure inclusive play was achieved.
