This document presents a preliminary concept design for Apex Park in Queanbeyan, Australia. The design incorporates cognitive, physical, sensory and emotional elements to provide learning opportunities and potential for role playing and creative expression. It includes features like a creeping vine tunnel, stepping see-saw, cozy cocoon, tractor tires with plantings, sandpit with hidden fossils, and balance beams. The goal is to balance active and quiet areas while engaging multiple senses.
