Lions Park Playground in Te Anau
Delivered, Exactly as Promised

We owned the whole project—end-to-end design and build, clear communication, one point of contact, delivered on time and on budget. We blended Te Anau’s wild Fiordland feel and local stories into an inclusive space that’s fun and safe for everyone. The star is our handcrafted timber caravan, built in Oamaru and inspired by classic Kiwi road trips on Highway 94. It sits alongside the Mitre Peak tower and playful details.

It’s proof that with transparent numbers and full accountability, great community spaces are achievable and built to last.

Thank you Southland District Council

Creo proudly transformed Cholmondeley Children’s Centre’s playground for their 100-year milestone.

The project wrapped with a special opening by Karen Chhour, Minister for Children, who highlighted the power of play:

“Watching children live out their dreams and imagination... it’s really awesome to watch.”

Standout hits:

✅ The basket swing — now one of the top-used pieces, perfect for chilling out and gentle rides.
✅ The flying fox — unanimously voted the favourite by the kids, delivering big excitement.
✅ Double seesaws and more for balanced, inclusive play.

In a world that can feel heavy, giving kids space to play and dream feels like the most important thing we can do.

A heartfelt Thank You to Karen Chhour MP & Cholmondeley
