Nestled along the scenic banks of the Canning River, the newly revitalized Shelley Beach Playground in Western Australia is now open, offering an inclusive, vibrant space for families and children of all ages to connect, play, and enjoy the outdoors.
botton+gardiner collaborated with the City of Canning and Phase3 Landscape Construction early on, providing accessibility consultation and design input to ensure all materials met the demands of the marine-side setting. This informed the specification of our Terrain Collection——durable, low-maintenance tables, seats, and benches designed with integrated accessibility to enhance comfort and usability for all. The collection’s frame was specified in hot-dip galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, paired with Spotted Gum hardwood battens, to meet the specific durability requirements of this coastal environment.
Our contribution reflects and supports the City’s vision for inclusive, enduring public spaces that bring communities together.
