Year Completed
2025
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Tekapo’s Lakeside Drive, this newly developed playground by Xyst offers a welcoming and accessible space for local families and visitors. The project needed a surfacing solution that would offer long-term durability, low maintenance, and visual appeal to match the spectacular surroundings.
Play Matta Original and Scuff pads were selected for their proven performance, extended warranty, and ability to blend naturally into the alpine landscape. The combination of light and bright blue with grey tones complements the lake’s colour palette, while providing a safe, free-draining surface beneath popular play elements like swings, slides, and spinners.
This installation is a great example of how Play Matta can enhance not only the safety of play spaces, but it’s also aesthetic, making it the perfect fit for high-use community areas in beautiful locations.
