Hou Marina

A modern playground that transforms the surrounding area

The new playground at Hou Marina has transformed the area, by creating a new vibrant place for families to visit. The project's main goal was to replace the outdated wooden play equipment with modern, durable and low-maintenance play structures that would stand the test of time. It was also important that the modern play equipment would provide high play value for a broad age range, as families with children of all ages frequently visit the area.

Hou Marina has always been a popular place for families, therefore it was essential to design a playground that would invite children of all ages to engage with a range of different play activities. The Virok play system from our Explore theme world, was an ideal choice as it offers a combination of play activities for a broad age range, with design elements such as the kitchen panel, tic-tac-toe, jungle hut and the two slides. The natural colour, forms and shapes also make the play system integrate nicely with its natural surroundings and complements the Marina’s aesthetic.

Swings are always a popular activity among children of all ages, therefore a large swingset was essential on this playground. The swingset caters to all ages, as it features a baby seat, standard seat and a birds nest swing.

Often, a playground is more than just a place to have fun, but can also be a place for children to interact, socialise, learn and develop essential skills, such as communication and teamwork. This playground offers plenty of opportunities for children to put their skills to the test, with features like the Ana playhouse and Offroader, where it is encouraged to build storylines.

This playground provides a wide variety of play equipment and activities, where children have endless opportunities for imaginative play and adventure. Hou Marina is an inviting, family friendly place that we encourage you to visit.
