Sherwood Arboretum Nature Playground

A state of the art nature-inspired play space has been added to the heritage-listed Sherwood Arboretum ahead of its centenary celebrations in 2025. 

The upgraded playground has been designed to enhance the arboretums existing charm, with three unique play pods, botanic-themed play elements and nature-based interactive experiences.

Some of the unique play elements include:

• Creating patterns with the kaleidoscope and octoscope

• Playing with the seed and water run
