PLAY
At Sturt Noble, we believe in the power of play to help kids of all ages and abilities grow and learn from each other. Play spaces should encourage engagement and connection with others to expand the social, cognitive and emotional capabilities of young people while creating a hub for local community. We encourage interaction with nature to enhance the creativity and sensory intelligence of children by involving elements of nature and water play in our playground designs.
Sturt Noble has been involved in consultation, design and documentation of playgrounds for numerous developers, councils and governing bodies. We strive to create inclusive, educational and joyful play spaces that benefit children, their carers and the wider community.
