Since 2015, Kidzspace has delivered more than 1,000 playground projects across Australia — from regional primary schools to metropolitan council parks. Trusted by local governments, P&C associations, childcare operators and community organisations, every Kidzspace installation is designed and built to comply with AS 4685, AS/NZS 8124 and AS 4422, giving clients complete confidence in quality, safety and longevity.
“Kidzspace transformed our underused oval corner into a vibrant learning space. The new modular climbing structure was installed in under two weeks with minimal disruption to classes. Their team handled the shade sail and soft fall surfacing seamlessly, and AS 4685 compliance documentation was thorough and provided without us needing to follow up.”

Principal, Ashgrove State Primary School, Brisbane QLD
“We replaced an ageing swing set and fixed play unit with a fully integrated play system. Kidzspace presented three design options tailored to our students’ age range. Installation was completed over the school holidays, perfectly on schedule, and AS 4685 certification was handed over on completion. Outstanding service from start to finish.”

Principal, Pennant Hills Public School, Sydney NSW
“Working with Kidzspace through our council procurement process was seamless. Their AS 4422-compliant soft fall specification was exactly what our infrastructure team required, and the fitness trail equipment at Elanora Park has been extremely well received by the community — durable, safe and great-looking. I would happily engage them again.”
Jason T.
Recreation Officer, Gold Coast City Council, QLD
“We engaged Kidzspace for a full park rejuvenation including freestanding play equipment, a swing bay and rubber soft fall matting. One point of contact throughout, excellent project management, and the team proactively flagged a drainage issue before installation that could have cost us thousands. Professional, communicative and highly recommended.”

Coordinator Recreation Infrastructure, City of Casey, VIC
“AS/NZS 8124 compliance is non-negotiable for us as a childcare operator. Kidzspace understood this from our first conversation and specified a compact HDPE play system that fit our tight outdoor footprint perfectly — no sharp edges, no exposed fixings. The children absolutely love it and the installation team left the site spotless.”
Karen B.
Director, Sunshine Early Learning Centre, Toowoomba QLD
“We needed to upgrade our outdoor play area before re-accreditation. Kidzspace had a design proposal within 48 hours and the new toddler swing set and sensory play panel installed within a week of approval. Responsive, transparent on pricing, and genuinely impressive customer service — we could not have asked for more.”

Case Studies
Case Study 1: Primary School Play Structure Upgrade — Brisbane, QLD
Client: Keperra State School, Brisbane QLD
Scope: Multi-level modular play structure, shade sail, engineered wood fibre soft fall
Timeline: 3-week installation over Christmas school holidays
Keperra State School sought to replace an ageing metal play structure that had become a safety liability for its 300-student enrolment. Kidzspace was engaged following a competitive quote process and appointed a dedicated project manager to liaise with the school P&C and facilities coordinator throughout. The design incorporated a multi-level modular play structure with slides, climbing nets and a bridge traverse catering for the full primary age range from Prep to Year 6.
A 7m x 9m shade sail was included to provide UV protection aligned with Queensland Health guidelines. Engineered wood fibre soft fall to AS 4422 was installed across the play zone, providing impact absorption and all-weather drainage. Footings were concrete-poured during week one, the structure erected in week two, and surfacing completed in week three. Handover documentation included full AS 4685 compliance certificates and a recommended maintenance schedule. The principal described the result as “completely transforming” the outdoor experience for students.
Case Study 2: Council Park Fitness Trail & Play Equipment — Gold Coast, QLD
Client: Gold Coast City Council — Parks & Recreational Infrastructure
Scope: 10-station outdoor fitness trail, freestanding play equipment, AS 4422 rubber soft fall
Timeline: 4-week installation
Gold Coast City Council engaged Kidzspace through its standard supplier procurement panel to upgrade Elanora Foreshore Park. The project required full compliance with council specifications including AS 4422 for soft fall surfaces and close coordination with council infrastructure and parks teams throughout.
Kidzspace supplied and installed a 10-station outdoor fitness trail featuring pull-up bars, balance beams, leg press stations and a stretch unit — all powder-coated steel with UV-stable finishes rated for coastal conditions. Complementing the fitness trail, a junior swing bay, springer rocker and standalone climbing unit were installed in the adjacent children’s area. Rubber soft fall tiles to AS 4422 were laid beneath all play items. The entire scope was completed within four weeks with zero lost-time incidents. Council’s recreation officer noted it was “one of the smoothest park upgrades we have managed.”
Case Study 3: Childcare Compact Play System — Sydney, NSW
Client: Little Steps Early Learning, Randwick NSW
Scope: Compact HDPE play system for under-5s, rubber soft fall tiles
Timeline: 5-day installation
Little Steps Early Learning in Randwick required a complete outdoor play upgrade ahead of an ACECQA re-accreditation inspection. The centre outdoor area measured just 48m2, demanding a compact play system suited to children under 5 years. Kidzspace proposed a low-platform HDPE unit combining a wave slide, sensory play panel, steering wheel and crawl-through tunnel — constructed from high-density polyethylene for splinter-free, chemical-resistant, low-maintenance performance.
All components were selected and verified for AS/NZS 8124 compliance — specifically Parts 1, 2 and 3 covering dimensions, age-appropriateness, entrapment hazards and surface impact requirements. Rubber soft fall tiles rated for the equipment fall height were installed across the full play zone footprint. Installation was completed within a standard business week with no disruption to centre operations. Full compliance documentation including AS/NZS 8124 conformance statements was provided at handover. The ACECQA inspector specifically commented positively on the quality of the outdoor play environment.
