We work on schoolyard upgrade work at all levels of education from preschool to primary, secondary, and tertiary.

From traditional services like landscaping, fencing and community lunch areas through to Nature Play Environments, we can create schoolyard spaces that enhance the individual learning environment.

The safety of students, staff and school community are our priority during upgrades and construction as well as the ability for the education institution to continue functioning while works proceed.

Nature Play by DP™

Outdoor spaces within childcare centres, preschools, schools, and local parks can be many children’s primary experience of outdoor play.

Past trends have prioritised risk reduction which has diminished access to nature and risky play.

At Direct Projects we aim to create play spaces in education institutions that increase0 opportunities for nature and risky play in outdoor play environments.

A quality play space design can improve socialisation, problem solving, focus, self-regulation, creativity, self-confidence, boredom and improve risks of injury.

Outdoor play spaces are important for promoting children’s wellbeing and development.
