Climb on for play

AWESOME Playgrounds owners Geoffrey and Brooke Gibbon are giving children good reason to ditch the computer games and boredom to step outside into the fresh air and discover the importance of play.
“A well designed outdoor playground will stimulate any child’s imagination and tempt them to explore new dimensions to play,” Mr Gibbon said.
“It also provides a great focal point for weekend barbecues – adults can kick back at the outdoor table, while the kids have fun on the equipment.”
He said it also helped kids test their ability and skills judgment, which can result in confidence and resilience.
Awesome Playgrounds, located at 97–107 Canterbury Road in Kilsyth, is the leading supplier of play equipment and accessories Australia-wide.
With more than 19 years of experience in the business, Awesome Playgrounds assures its products are of the utmost quality and standards.
“We guarantee that our services, both pre and post sale, will surpass all expectations,” Mrs Gibbon said.
Awesome playgrounds have the lot – cubbies, rainbow play systems, swings, slides, chook pens, dog kennels and a range of accessories.
“Drop down to our huge showroom and let the kids test all our products,” Mrs Gibbon said.
Their Rainbow Play House system is “the Rolls Royce of playground equipment”.
“It is number one in the States,” Mr Gibbon said.
“Even President Obama has one installed at the White House for his girls!”
Rainbow Play Systems are modular and expandable so owners can start with a basic set and add components over the years.
“It can grow as your children grow,” Mrs Gibbon said.
Awesome Playgrounds sets are constructed using only the finest materials – north American redwood and western red cedar – and are covered by an unprecedented lifetime warranty.
“Cedar and redwood are naturally decay and termite resistant, which means they do not have to be treated with toxic chemicals to last for years outdoors,” Mrs Gibbon said.
Rainbow is also SFI Certified (Sustainable Forestry Initiative).
This means the timber has been approved to be harvested under an agreement reached in cooperation with scientists, environmental groups and foresters so as not to harm watersheds around streams, wildlife or cause soil erosion and to ensure no one area is over-harvested.
Five trees are also planted for every one tree harvested.
