Water play sea creatures come to life at Broadwater Parklands
Natureworks manufactured and installed a series of true to life local sea creatures with spurt and spray features. They now dot the shallow rapids water-park at the Broadwater Parklands on Gold Coast.
Collectively the sea life characters provide a functional, sturdy and attractive playground for thousands of children to adore all year round.

Animals at the water playground
The playground items installed include:
- The oversized mud crab stands centre stage for older children to climb upon and play with the streaming water jets spraying upwards to the sky.
- The high detailed finish of the loggerhead turtle is a popular sit-upon feature with a 6-metre spray jet extending from its mouth.
- The cute finely dressed fur seal pup whose whiskers have become whisker-jets is a popular sit-upon character that adds fun and warmth to the site.
- The spotted eagle ray showcases its detailed and unique skin pattern adding a touch of class and natural sea-life wonder.
- The brightly coloured octopus reveals its true-to-life underside suction cups, adding texture and depth to this finely detailed sculpture.
- The dusky flathead is a life cast off a very large flathead that every fisherman dreams of catching and is nestled in the shade near the edge of the pool.
Nature-based play sculptures
These nature-based playground items showcase only a few pieces of Natureworks’ extensive library of highly detailed animal replicas. All sculptures have been specifically adapted to meet the Australian Playground Standards with anti-slip finishes and integrally coloured in polyester gel-coats, to ensure the longevity of the finishes and allow safe play experiences.
If you want to create a stimulating, educational and vibrant public play space, we hope you are inspired by Naturework’s sculpture collection and project case studies.
