Elemental Play Garden
Step into an enchanting play garden where nature inspires play and discovery. Earth mounds turn into slides, tunnels invite exploration, and a wind sculpture dance in the breeze. A natural waterway and kid-friendly fountain offer cooling respite on summer days, while a swing bridge beckons adventurous spirits.
Nature guided play
This complimentary outdoor space is open daily until sunset, inviting families to explore, dream and celebrate the four elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Four elements, endless wonder
Created by landscape architects Ed Brooks and Danielle Croly, this magical space weaves indigenous plants with creative play features. Each quadrant celebrates a different element:
Air
Dance with the wind in this open space, where Charl Conradie’s kinetic sculpture moves with the breeze, inviting the little ones to feel nature’s majestic power.
Water
Follow the splash pools that wind through the garden, offering safe water play and cooling fun. Listen for the hidden frog among the lily pads.
Earth
Explore tunnels carved into natural mounds, climb gentle slopes, and discover textures that connect little hands to the living soil.
Fire
Ignite your imagination in this dynamic space, where bold colours and engaging structures spark creative play and adventure.
