A brand-new Sensory Playground at , New South Wales, allows children of all abilities and ages who are staying or receiving treatments to explore their imagination in fun and engaging ways. It also provides an inviting space for the whole family to seek respite outdoors.

The new playground, delivered as part of the $619 million Children鈥檚 黑料吃瓜群网 at Westmead Stage 2 (CHW2) Redevelopment, features spinning and rocking equipment, a light tower, squeezing cylinders, a rain wheel and a coconut hut.

Sydney Children鈥檚 黑料吃瓜群网s Network (SCHN) Acting Chief Executive Sayeed Zia said, 鈥淪ensory environments are great outlets to alleviate stress for children and young people, and this playground was developed with all children in mind聽鈥� regardless of age, ability, illness, injury or length of stay in hospital.鈥�

The playground was developed in consultation with parent groups, clinicians and members of the local Aboriginal community to ensure the design complements the local environment and is inclusive of all children and young people.

Health Infrastructure Executive Director Northern Region Leisa Rathborne said the playground will be boosted further, with work on a second play area with swings and balancing animals scheduled to begin later this year.

鈥淭ime in hospital can be hard for anyone, let alone children and their families. That鈥檚 especially the case for young people with diverse abilities and mobility aids,鈥� said NSW Minister for Health Ryan Park.

鈥淭his new playground is designed with inclusive features and accessible play equipment, pathways and seating areas that engages children鈥檚 imaginations through touch, sound and visual elements.
