Preschool playground receives design award

Woy Woy Public School's Guliyali Preschool playground and the construction company behind it have received a National Playspace Design Award from the Kidsafe Play Symposium.

The Guliyali playground took out the award for its skilful integration of play elements that challenged physical skills in a safe and controlled environment.

The design was also praised for its use of natural timber and plethora of play elements.

Principal Ms Ona Buckley attended the symposium and said it was an educational experience.

"It was a fantastic event, with a wide variety of information and insights into playground safety and design, nature pedagogy and encouraging autonomous learning through play," Ms Buckley said.
