New all-weather rubber mulch surface installed around roundabout in Stanhope Park


We're thrilled to announce that AFS is back in Stanhope Park, Holsworthy! Our team has been hard at work installing a brand new, state-of-the-art rubber mulch surface around the roundabout.


For those of you who know Stanhope Park, you'll appreciate how popular the roundabout is with children of all ages. However, traditional surfaces can become muddy, slippery, or simply less inviting during inclement weather. That's where our new rubber mulch comes in!


Rubber mulch is an innovative, recycled material specifically designed for playgrounds and recreational areas.


It offers a multitude of benefits:


  • All-weather play: This is the big one. Rubber mulch drains exceptionally well, meaning no more muddy puddles or slippery patches after rain. Children can enjoy the roundabout year-round, regardless of the weather.

  • Enhanced safety: The cushioned nature of rubber mulch provides a superior fall-attenuating surface, significantly reducing the risk of injuries from accidental tumbles. This gives parents and guardians greater peace of mind.

  • Durability and longevity: Rubber mulch is incredibly durable and resistant to decomposition, unlike organic mulches. This means less maintenance and a longer lifespan for the play area.

  • Cleanliness: Unlike sand or wood chips, rubber mulch doesn't track as easily into shoes and clothes, keeping little ones (and their parents!) cleaner.

  • Environmentally friendly: We're proud to use a recycled material, contributing to a more sustainable solution for community play spaces.


Our experienced team is committed to delivering a high-quality installation that will ensure years of safe and enjoyable play for the children of Holsworthy. We worked efficiently to minimise disruption and get this fantastic new surface ready for action as quickly as possible.


We believe that providing accessible, safe and engaging play environments is crucial for childhood development and community well-being. We're excited to see the smiles on the faces of children enjoying the all-weather fun at Stanhope Park!
