Nature-Inspired Playgrounds, Designed with Heart

At Nature Inspired Playgrounds, we (Kym & Carol de Lucy) design and build custom outdoor play environments that spark curiosity, imagination, and joy. Based in Brisbane and working across Australia, we specialise in crafting bespoke natural playgrounds for childcare centres, schools, and communities.

Every space we create encourages adventurous learning through mud pits, tree climbs, water play, forts, and rope challenges — all tailored to different developmental stages. We listen closely to your needs to deliver play areas that are rich in texture, variety, and meaningful challenge.

Inspired by nature and guided by what makes childhood magical, we’d love to help bring your outdoor vision to life. Get in touch — we’re always happy to chat.
