We want your help to design a new artwork at Olds Park.

Building on the success of the two Skate, Break and Build events held in August 2024, we are exploring ideas for the next stage of the Places to Love program.

We want to create a unique public artwork that helps create a vibrant nighttime experience of connection and play at Olds Park extending from the skatepark to under-utilised areas of the park. 

The theme, 'Play at the Park after Dark' aims to facilitate community interactions by exploring gamification principles.

🎯 Gamification is the use of game-like elements in everyday activities to make them more fun and engaging.

😊 This artwork will use game-like elements to make it more fun and engaging.

👍 It’s important that the artwork helps people play together in safe, fun and creative ways. 

Need some inspiration?

It can be tough to think of new ideas, so here are some features that might spark your imagination and design process:

📍 Location – where in the park would you put the artwork? Could it incorporate parks of the walking track or amenities?

🔨 Materials- what would it be made of? Could you use different materials, such as glow in the dark, varied textures or colours?

🎯 Interactivity – how would you make it game-like? Could you use lights, motion, sound? Could you incorporate teamwork, scoring, leaderboards?

💡 Lighting – What type of light source would or could you use?
