Our Story

At Nature Inspired Playgrounds, Kym and Carol personally guide every step of the journey — from consultation and design through to construction and certification. Based in Brisbane but travelling Australia-wide, we are passionate about listening to our clients and delivering bespoke, nature-based playgrounds that truly reflect each community’s vision.

Our outdoor play environments are designed to inspire learning through variety, texture, risk, and challenge. We believe the best playgrounds are those that capture the joy of childhood — places where kids can climb trees, splash in water play, get muddy in dirt pits, hide away in forts, and test their limits on rope challenges. Each space is tailored to different stages of learning, ensuring children engage in play that is exciting, imaginative, and developmentally enriching.

We’re inspired by nature, and by the simple joy of remembering what it’s like to have fun. With more than 30 years of hands-on experience in timber playground construction, we bring together creativity, safety, and craftsmanship to build play spaces that will be treasured for years to come.
