JB Ware Reserve Masterplan

• Location: Burnside, SA
• Project: Open Space Planning
• Client: The City of Burnside
• Completion: May 2008

Details:
JB Ware Reserve is a important reserve for the local community and City of Burnside. Located between the Adelaide Hills and Portrush Road, the reserve is a playground, meeting place and gateway to Burnside.

The design draws inspiration from the site context, the vegetation of the Adelaide Hills and the noise and animation of Portrush Road. A themed playground reflects the idea of transport with new landscape treatments providing amenity

An innovative ‘dry moat’ secures the site without affecting visibility or surveillance. This unusual feature adds play value, while at night, the embankment and retaining wall are illuminated adding interest and security.
