Seagull Avenue Reserve
Nestled among leafy surrounds just a short distance from the beach, Seagull Avenue Reserve in Chiton brings a new play destination to South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula. Delivered by Moduplay for Alexandrina Council as part of a two-site renewal, the playground combines RePlay panels, natural timber equipment and equipment built for coastal conditions, with play opportunities for younger children and older siblings.

Two playground renewals under one contract
Seagull Avenue Reserve and Middleton Shores Reserve were delivered under the same renewal contract, with Moduplay looking after both projects.
At Seagull Ave, our work covered everything from removing the old equipment to delivering the new playground, surfacing and seating. Council had one point of contact across both renewals, making it easier to coordinate the work at the two reserves.
A recycled choice that fits the surroundings
Council wanted a mix of materials that would sit comfortably within the reserve’s leafy surroundings. Green RePlay panels paired with a timber Bushwood Balance Trail helped achieve that, bringing different textures into the playground, complementing the reserve’s surroundings.
RePlay features throughout the Prospector Connect Multi Play unit, from the roof and side panels to the stair components. It also appears in the activity panels and recycled Twista Sails.
Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) offcuts from Moduplay’s own manufacturing process, RePlay puts pre-existing material back to use. The offcuts are reprocessed locally into new playground components, giving council a recycled-material option with a known closed-loop source.
Built to last by the coast
In a coastal location like Chiton, the materials need to last in the harsh environment. The Connect Multi Play unit includes Extreme Marine protection as standard. Marine-grade hardware and aluminium posts help protect against corrosion, making Connect a practical choice for council assets in coastal areas.
For little ones and older siblings
For families with children of different ages, having play options in one place makes an outing easier. Council’s brief for ages 1–12 called for a balance of simple, approachable activities and challenges that would keep older children interested.
Low-level play gives younger children opportunities to explore, try hands-on games and play alongside others. Climbing, spinning and a larger slide introduce more adventure, while the balance trails offer challenges children can approach differently as their confidence and coordination grow.
Together, these choices give siblings more ways to enjoy the same playground and children reasons to return as they grow. For council, that means a neighbourhood playspace that serves a broader age range within the one reserve.
Room to play and a place to stay
Council also chose to relocate the playground within the reserve, leaving more grass around the new play area.
That makes a difference for families with children of different ages. There’s room for older siblings to run or kick a ball nearby while younger children use the playground. Bench seats were positioned with clear views across the equipment, giving parents and carers somewhere to sit and keep watch.
