The Variety Special Playground utilises local, natural materials to create individually-designed artforms that stimulate every sense. Caves, tunnels, a secret garden, ponds and sculptures offer sights, scents and sounds for children with and without special needs.

Specialists from the Association for the Blind, Disability Services Commission, Independent Living Centre, Sir David Brand Centre, and numerous other schools for special needs children were among those who contributed ideas for this interactive playground.
