Denman Village Park

The Denman Prospect Village Playground, engineered and built by RAM Constructions, is a vibrant recreational hub in Canberra’s newest suburb. Drawing inspiration from Mount Stromlo Observatory, the playground features astronomythemed elements such as an eight-metre-high observatory tower with an illuminated dome, a crater-inspired sandpit, and planetary trails. Interactive waterplay mimics the Milky Way, enhancing the sensory experience. To overcome accessibility challenges due to the park’s location seven metres below street level, RAM Constructions expertly coordinated consultants to integrate amenities, shade structures, boardwalks, play structures, bespoke street furniture, and comprehensive landscaping. The amenities building and shade structure draw inspiration from Canberra’s historic bus stops, while the roof design features a cantilevered off-form concrete structure curved in two planes. Skylights were created using metal forms based on 3D models, craned onsite, and poured in situ. The result is a cohesive, functional, and visually striking landscape that serves as a vibrant centerpiece for the community.
