Dunolly Primary School

“Our bright, interactive TigerTurf playground has been enthusiastically welcomed by students, staff and the community. Just as well it’s a hard-wearing surface because it’s constantly in use now,” said Katie Lovel, the principal of Dunolly Primary School.
- Date Project Completed: May 2017
- Area: 634m2
- Surface: TigerTurf Tournament
- Base: Full build crushed rock base
Delightful Designs.
“We asked TigerTurf to design a new playground that would brighten the school, with an all-weather clean games and PE area that the community could use too. We were delighted by the design, which immediately brought colour, structure and purpose to a dull, unused space.”
TigerTurf Playgrounds Are Adventure Playgrounds.
“The bright, interactive TigerTurf playground has been a sensational success,” said Dunolly Primary School Principal, Katie Lovel. “PE is the students’ favourite subject, and the new Tournament surface is used every day.”
TigerTurf Tournament:
Tournament is a reliable, quality tennis surface made by TigerTurf and is a good value investment for recreational tennis and schools multi-sports court. It is a medium pile, sand filled, fibrillated tennis surface. Its hardwearing, versatile yarn makes it suitable for courts of all types from private homes to tennis clubs and multisport use in schools.
Hard Wearing Characteristics:
TigerTurf Tournament multi-use playgrounds are more fun.
Our colourful design for a large games area in bright green included multicoloured hopscotch, four-square and several other popular activities chosen by the school for the students. TigerTurf playgrounds are vibrant and stimulating, seemingly irresistible to children.
The target inserted into the games area was certainly the hot spot on Grandparents’ Night at the school recently. With prizes for the horseshoe that landed closest to the bull’s eye, the competition was fierce, the encouragement loud.
“At every opportunity, students head for the playground to play together, chat, eat or form teams for games they initiate themselves. We couldn’t be happier with the TigerTurf Tournament playground,and with the way the entire project was managed.”
Play many sports on one TigerTurf Tournament surface.
TigerTurf managed the installation, over a stable base constructed to drain the Tournament surface and keep it performing to its potential for many years of hard use. Tournament is one of the most popular school sports and play surfaces in Australia for several reasons.
• As a technical multi-sport surface, it has been designed with the qualities required for several sports; therefore, schools can use one court for more playing hours than normal.
A great investment.
• Tournament is an economical choice for schools. It requires very little maintenance to perform well, and will stand up to years of use as a versatile surface on which students can learn the skills for several sports.
• Tournament is a wonderful games and sports surface. It is available in several clear bright colours to define areas and activities; we used terracotta, yellow, blue and green in brilliant colour combinations loved by the children at Dunolly Primary School.
