Lady Emily Reserve in Skye is a local park, and gathering place for the local community in the City of Frankston.
​
This design not only upgrades the playspace for all ages, but also provides important infrastructure that supports all users: extensive new planting to increase biodiversity, paths for easy access, drinking fountains, picnic tables and a shelter, and many different types of seating. Timber recycled from the old play structure was used to create 'box' seats in friendly groups in shaded areas.
​
The playspace includes a custom designed structure constructed by Allplay, a variety of swings, climbing and upper body challenges for older children, an inground jumper, spinning equipment and opportunities for nature play.
​
Unique kooky stone 'chickens' and eggs were constructed by Leafing Public Art to add some special character to this special park.
