Kopupaka Reserve playground in Westgate, Auckland was the 2021, New Zealand Parks Awards, Playground of the Year. The playground ‘wowed’ judges with its mission to prevent emissions and support local climate change, as well as its vibrant colour and edible plantings.
Numat’s Pour‘n’Play surfacing was used throughout the playground. It was chosen for its colour range and moldability which enabled the creation of long, playful ‘strawberry’ mounds in the surface, a nod to the site’s history as a strawberry field.
