Blaxland Riverside Park Playground by JMD design

2012年6月初，由JMDd设计的Blaxland Riverside Park游乐场正式开放。为了扩大哈格里夫斯和他的伙伴们的娱乐机会，他们设计了新的游乐场和相关的信息亭、娱乐设施区和停车场。

In early June 2012 the JMDd designed Blaxland Riverside Park Playspace was officially opened. The new regional scale playground and associated kiosk, amenities block and car park were commissioned to expand the recreational opportunities of the Hargreaves and Associates designed Blaxland Riverside Park, one of a number of parks that make up Sydney Olympic Parklands.

JMD设计将哈格里夫斯和他的伙伴们建立的圆锥体、切割和梯田的主要地形合并在一起，设计了一个独特的新项目，该项目与它的环境保持对话。在现有的梯田上方，有一个200米长、3米高、重复着哈格里夫斯梯田的几何形状的高坡。新平台被挖掘成倾斜的平面和倒转的土丘，为移动和玩耍创造空间。

JMD design conflated the dominant landform of cones, cuts and terraces, established by Hargreaves and Associates to design a distinctive new project that maintains a dialogue with its context. A 200m long and 3m high berm  that repeats the geometry established by the Hargreaves terraces was inserted above the existing Terraces. The new terrace was excavated into with tilted planes and inverted mounds to create space for movement and play.

自定义设计和专有的项目被建立在主要地形的周围。隧道将不同的子空间连接起来，通过体验陡坡地形的体验，使之成为可能。一个双飞的fox，隧道滑梯，地面上的滑梯，一个巨大的秋千，攀岩墙，大型钢管，一个悬挂的攀岩网，一个沙坑和一个拥有170架飞机的水广场构成了戏剧性的地形。水广场喷气机提供多种变化的水景效果，以适应访问的模式和季节性。巨大而强有力的单一喷流与精细的定向喷流和低熔岩喷流结合在一起，形成线条、圆圈和弧线，使空间活跃并细分。

Custom designed and proprietary items were built into and around the dominant landform. Tunnels connect the different sub spaces allowing an over/around/through experience of the steeply inclined landform.  A double Flying fox, tunnel slides, ground mounted slides, a giant swing, climbing walls, large steel pipes, a suspended climbing net, a sand pit and a water plaza with 170 jets populate the dramatic landform.  The water plaza jets offer a wide variety of programmable water effects to suit visitation patterns and seasonality. Large and powerful single jets combine with fine directional jets and low lava jets to make lines, circles, and arcs that animate and subdivide the space.
