Overview

Olivine Gumnut Park was created as an essential early social building block for the development of a new community situated within the suburb of Donnybrook, in the northern outskirts of Melbourne. The adventure playground landscape design is a realisation of a vision that celebrates timber’s integral role in creating both a community hub and enhancing the surrounding natural environments.
