School Playground

Teelba State School in Queensland now boasts an incredible new custom-built playground, fully designed, manufactured and installed by the team at WillPlay! The centrepiece of this vibrant play space is a massive custom Truck PlayPark system modelled after a classic Australian road train. We customised this structure specifically for the school, featuring "Teelba SS Trucks" proudly branded across the front grill and "Teelba Tires" custom-moulded into the wheel panels. Students can climb into the driver's cab, crawl through tunnels, cross elevated bridges and navigate climbing nets before choosing their quick escape down either the open side slide or the tube slide at the rear off the boxie climb.

Right beside the truck sits the custom 'Servo' Play Fort, the ultimate drive-thru service station companion, complete with interactive panels such as a Ball Maze, Crazy Wheel, Tic-Tac-Toe and a SERVO counter window for endless imaginative play. Nearby, young drivers can take a spin on the green and yellow Tractor Car Rocker, while those looking for hands-on, tactile fun can explore the dedicated sand play zone. Featuring a specialised Sand Play System with scoops, chains and funnels alongside an interactive Sand Digger, kids can scoop, shift and build to their hearts' content. For students wanting to build strength and agility, the play area also includes classic Monkey Bars and a Track Ride to zip across the sand.

To ensure the school received a complete, hassle-free solution, our team handled every step of the site transformation from the ground up. We installed a massive 10.2m x 20.4m hard shade shelter featuring a green steel profile roof, providing total all-weather cover so students can play safely protected from the sun. The scope of work covered full site excavation, subsurface drainage to manage heavy rain, heavy-duty timber edging around the perimeter and sand softfall, with flush rubber pads placed at slide exit points for extra safety. To wrap up the project seamlessly, we laid fresh turf around the timber borders, managed temporary fencing during construction, completed underground service scans and secured full third-party safety certification.

It was a privilege for WillPlay to design, manufacture and install this complete custom project for Teelba State School, creating an inspiring and durable play space that students will enjoy for many years to come!
