Executive Summary

Parramatta Park Trust appointed Fleetwood to help deliver an inspired $2 million playground, located in its new Paddocks Precinct – the largest financial injection in Parramatta Park’s proud history. Working alongside the project designers, McGregor Coxall, the concept called for a seamlessly integrated play space that was creative, safe and durable enough to serve the ever-growing population of Western Sydney families for years to come.

Fleetwood involvement

Using our unique DesignExecute2™ model, Fleetwood collaborated with McGregor Coxall on the structural elements of the playground, from concept and detail design, through to execution and installation on site. Given many of the elements were architecturally complex, a strong design understanding was needed between both parties. The Fleetwood team took the time to clearly understand the vision McGregor Coxall wanted to create and, adding value at every stage of the project, was able to deliver it seamlessly. We then partnered with Coordinated Landscapes to complete the final delivery of the built works, on time and on budget.

I trust Fleetwood to deliver the quality I want and care about the end product. Fleetwood actually come back and say, ‘what about if we do this, I think I understand where you are trying to go with this, this is how we can work to get this a better outcome� ...
