Ultimate play in Tasmania*

The ‘Corocord – Giant Space Net’ structure at the Tail Race destination playground in Riverside is attracting visitors from all parts of Tasmania and the mainland.

The increase in visitor numbers to the area has improved the local economy as demand for products and services from local businesses has increased.

After comprehensive consultation with the West Tamar Council, this impressive 9.95metre tall Space Net was selected for the inclusive play value it offered to children and adults of all ages and abilities.

KOMPAN, as the world leader in outdoor playground and exercise equipment, manufactures products that are made from the best quality materials available. This ensures the best achievable warranties, and, as the Tail Race net is virtually maintenance free, it provides beneficial cost savings to Council.

Independent, third party certification ensures full compliance to all relevant Australian playground safety standards and guarantees Council the highest level of protection.

Ultimate Play – the exclusive Tasmanian agent for KOMPAN – is based in Launceston, and is a Tasmanian locally owned and operated business.

Our team has installed over 1200 play environments nationally, internationally and throughout Tasmania for clients such as the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Councils, Child Care Centres, Community Organisations.

Ultimate Play offers a complete range of services in the development of your play environment – from site design, through to the completion of your project. Supply and installation of standards-compliant rubber soft-fall surfacing is our specialty, and product quality assurance is guaranteed.
