Event information
The Elemental Play Garden beside the Werf invites children to explore the four natural elements through imaginative outdoor play. Designed as an interactive landscape, it transforms natural features into opportunities for discovery, from earthen slides and tunnels to water channels and bridges, encouraging children to connect with nature through movement and curiosity.
Created by landscape architects Ed Brooks and Danielle Croly, the garden blends indigenous vegetation with creative design, celebrating earth, air, fire, and water in four themed zones. Gentle mounds and textured surfaces invite tactile exploration in the earth section, while splash pools and lily pads offer cooling fun in the water area. The air quadrant features Charl Conradie’s kinetic wind sculpture, and the fire section uses bold colours and shapes to inspire creativity.
Open daily until sunset, the Elemental Play Garden provides a space where families can relax and children can play freely in a safe, natural setting.
