Fun for the kids in school holidays

We have the perfect activity to keep your children occupied and stimulated over Easter and during the school holidays. Bayside’s Playground Tester program is turning four and is celebrating with a pirate theme!

Recruitment for the best job in the world is now open, with children aged between 1 – 12 years clamouring to be selected as an official playground tester (no application refused) to swing, slide, jump, climb and explore the next six playgrounds nominated for renewal as part of our Playground Improvement Plan.

The experts, our Bayside Buccaneers, will provide critical insights to the design team, to ensure that our playgrounds are designed for fun and that the voices of the people that use these spaces is heard.

To keep our Buccaneers on their toes and ensure that every nook and cranny of the playgrounds are explored, a treasure map will have the crew on the lookout for loot (QR code) hidden within each playground.

Scanning the code and providing feedback on what they love and things that might need to be improved at each playground, will also make our volunteers eligible to claim the treasure hidden at each of the playgrounds.
