Lions Park Playground in Te Anau - A Revitalised Lakeside Destination

Описание: Nestled on the shores of Lake Te Anau in Fiordland, Lions Park has long been a beloved lakeside spot for families, locals, and visitors—with picnic areas, BBQs, restrooms, and breathtaking views. Thanks to a redevelopment by the ‪@southlanddistrictcouncil_nz‬ Fiordland Community Board, and community partners, this iconic space has been transformed into Southland's newest destination playground.

Creo owned the entire project through our end-to-end design-build process, providing one point of contact and transparent timelines from concept to completion—eliminating surprises and delivering punctual installations with proactive updates. We wove in Te Anau's alpine wilderness, cultural heritage, and adventurous spirit to create an innovative, inclusive playspace that sparks joy for all abilities, while using eco-conscious choices like recycled components and natural treated timber for carbon-aware, long-lasting durability suited to New Zealand's environments.

This revitalization maximizes budget value with package deals on equipment and surfacing, delivering high-quality play without the premium price tag. Compliant with NZS 5828 standards, it prioritizes accessibility, sensory play, and safety—turning community challenges into opportunities for vibrant spaces that build confidence, connections, and lasting impact.

No feature captures the magic of Lions Park quite like our custom caravan, handcrafted in Creo's Oamaru workshop. This whimsical play structure, designed to evoke the spirit of road trips through Fiordland's landscapes, serves as a cozy hideaway for imaginative role-play. Built with sustainable materials like recycled components and natural timber, it stands as a testament to our eco-conscious choices for carbon-aware, long-lasting playspaces.

Opened in August 2025 after a seamless rollout, Lions Park now draws families from across Southland and beyond. As one parent shared, "It's on-point, on time, and on price—exactly what Te Anau needed." With award-winning execution and a proven track record, Creo continues to be the trusted choice for councils nationwide.
