Ever wondered what happens to old playgrounds when they’re replaced? We believe in giving them a second life, and thanks to our partnership with Rotary Adelaide, former PAE playgrounds are off to new adventures around the world!
Playgrounds in Australia typically have a lifespan of around 15 years due to our harsh environmental conditions. That’s why are being disassembled we donate them to Rotary volunteers, who restore and ship them overseas to communities in need.
Peter, who leads the project, says the playgrounds are always in good condition “They’re free from damage and just need a few nuts and bolts replaced."
The five nuns in the picutre installed their new playground themselves, including doing the concrete!
Thanks to this initiative, children in developing countries get access to safe, functional playgrounds that support healthy development and joyful play, often for the first time in their lives.
We’re proud to be part of this meaningful project, helping bring joy to children across the world.
