Creating Wrinklewort Park and playground at Westbrook, Melbourne

We recently caught you with the teams at Spiire and FORGE to hear about design of the new Wrinklewort Park at Westbrook.

The new park will an exciting addition to the thriving and engaged community.

The centrepiece of the reserve will be towers shaped like Button Wrinklewort blossoms, inspired by the flower’s unique form.

Once completed, the public space will feature a dog park, fitness equipment, multi-sport court with scooter track and custom shelters.

At the ground level toddlers can explore the sensory-rich panels.

Primary school-age kids will enjoy scaling the cargo nets and towers to reach the slides.

The Button Wrinklewort (Rutidosis leptorhynchoides) is a rare, though resilient, native daisy.

Each flower is a compact cluster of small florets, encircled by a ring of greenish bracts that give it a delicate, ornamental appearance.
