Sea-themed mythical waterplay fun for the family

Sea-themed mythical waterplay fun for the family

  • Parks + Playscapes
  • Project Yeppon Waterplay Keppel Kraken
  • Client Livingstone Shire Council,
  • Location Yeppoon - QLD

Designed to entice children to use and challenge their imaginations, Vee project-managed, designed and developed construction-ready plans for a magical sea-creature inspired sprayground as part of Livingstone Shire Council’s overall Foreshore Redevelopment.

The park features sea creature sculptures and a pirate ship crows’ nest adorning a host of interactive elements including water cannons, jets, an umbrella bucket, and jumping blocks. The mythical landscape is towered over by a 4m high Keppel Kraken sculpture centrepiece, whose multicoloured tentacles whirl and loop throughout the park, creating arches and spirals which periodically emit plumes of water cascades.

  • AILA 2016 Tourism Award of Excellence
  • Parks and Leisure Australia Award for Playspace Major ($0.5M+) 2016

In Collaboration with Playscape Creations, Leisure Engineering, Premise Engineers and Natureworks, the multiple award-winning waterplay is now renowned as the Yeppoon foreshore’s premiere tourism identity.

Timber decks, barbeque, custom-made picnic tables and shades areas perch amongst tropical foliage, encouraging extended recreation for the entire family.

At night the playspace lights up, interacting with the water features to create a rich and colourful luminary experience.

An inspiring and visually impactful water play for cross-seasonal, day-to-night use, the project reflects locally significant iconography, whilst meeting exacting Australian Playground Standards across health and building codes.
