Royal Childrens Hospital Brisbane
The George Gregan Foundation playground at the Royal Children's Hospital has been completed. The playground includes wonderful life like sculptures of animals including a five metre crocodile called 'Sweetheart'. Brightly coloured swings, slides and interactive equipment will delight and entertain not only the kids in hospital, but also their siblings and other visitors.
This playground is a scaled down version of the original plans due to the fact that the Royal Children's Hospital Brisbane will close in the near future. A full scale, all access playground will be built in the grounds of the new Queensland Children's Hospital and will include all the equipment originally planned for the Royal Children's Hospital.
The playground at the Royal Children's Hospital was officially opened on 11 September 2008.
