Sea Play On The Bay, Busselton
Sea Play on the Bay encapsulates the spirit of Busselton’s maritime history and draws on the city’s coastal environment.
A clipper ship is the centrepiece of the dry play space – an area that provides physical challenges including
swinging, climbing and balance – while the wet play space is an apt feature for this coastal location. The jury commended the use of non-traditional, bespoke play elements and dramatic lighting to extend playground patronage, allowing users to enjoy the space during the day and at night. Sea Play on the Bay proves to be an iconic part of the ever-improving Busselton foreshore and tourist precinct.
Additional facilities including a wood-fired pizza oven with dining pavilion, amphitheatre and open lawn spaces make it clear that Legacy Park has been designed with the community in mind. This project is a shining example of the numerous benefits of inter-generational play spaces.
