Creating Space to Move: A Custom Games Area Designed for Active Learning

Guided by the principal’s vision to create an inspiring space for movement and creativity, TigerTurf designed a colourful play area featuring a Brick-coloured running track, Light Blue surfaces, imaginative obstacle course games, and bold shapes. Using the durable, all-weather TigerTurf Trophy surface, the new area combines safety, comfort, and visual appeal to support active play and imaginative exploration year-round. This innovative project reflects the school’s dedication to fostering students’ physical and creative growth, turning a forgotten space into a dynamic hub for learning and play.

Reimagining Outdoor Play with TigerTurf Trophy

The school’s principal had a clear and inspiring vision: to create a vibrant space that would encourage children to move, play, and unleash their creativity. Together with TigerTurf, a custom design was crafted to turn this vision into reality. The centrepiece of the area is a striking Brick-coloured running track that cuts through a vibrant Light Blue surface, surrounded by a variety of imaginative obstacle course games and colourful shapes. Every element was carefully planned to spark curiosity and inspire imaginative play, ensuring students could use the space not just for exercise, but also for storytelling, exploration, and interactive learning.

To bring this vision to life, TigerTurf Trophy was chosen for its vibrant colour options, durability, and ability to handle the demands of an active play environment. Designed to be safe and comfortable, the surface provides firm traction for running and jumping, while remaining soft enough to cushion falls. Its all-weather performance ensures year-round usability, making it the perfect choice for a space designed to support endless creativity and play.

This new area is more than just a playground—it’s a canvas for creativity. The bold design and thoughtfully placed features invite students to engage their minds and bodies, fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and boundless fun. Whether they’re running races, navigating obstacles, or inventing their own games, the space supports a wide range of activities that stimulate both physical and imaginative growth.

Through this collaborative effort, Baird’s Mainfreight Primary School has turned a once-forgotten part of the campus into a dynamic hub of energy and creativity. The project reflects the school’s commitment to providing its students with spaces that inspire, challenge, and delight, while celebrating the unique role of play in learning and development.
