Built around a signature roofed playhouse tower, this structure gives tamariki a clear home base to gather, plan and return to whilst the surrounding circuit keeps them moving. A spider web climbing panel, monkey bar traverse, inclined climbing net and staircase entry deliver a full progression of physical challenge within a compact 5.2 × 7.3m footprint.
Supervision is straightforward. The open-frame design keeps the full structure visible from a single point, making it a practical fit for busy school environments where duty of care matters.
It is built for long-term performance in New Zealand conditions with minimal maintenance requirements over its lifetime.
Supporting up to 20 children simultaneously, the Starter encourages active physical challenge, social and cooperative play, imaginative role play and age-appropriate risk progression. Key pillars of healthy child development. The roofed tower gives children a place to gather whilst the surrounding circuit keeps them engaged across the full school day.

Every Complete Playground Package includes playground equipment, certified safety surfacing, timber edging, safety fencing, full installation, and a Site-Specific Safety Plan. The Creo team handles the entire project from delivery to handover — one point of contact, zero coordination headaches.
Pricing is based on good ground conditions — a level site with adequate drainage. The site must be cleared of previous structures, free from tree roots, redundant pipes, underground services, and other obstructions before work begins. Pricing applies to main centres across New Zealand. Additional charges may apply for deliveries outside these areas.
Lead time for timber components is 4–6 weeks from order confirmation. A full installation schedule and Gantt chart is included in the downloadable info pack.
Customisation is permitted within reasonable limits, subject to prior approval by Creo. Acceptable modifications include changes to colours, substitution of equivalent components, or minor adjustments to the playground footprint. All substitutions must be of equal or lesser value unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The Builder is part of the Ready to Grow range — structures designed from the ground up to accept future additions. As your school’s roll grows or your budget allows, Creo can add new circuit modules, swing bays, or standalone pieces without replacing the existing structure.
The Builder’s fixed price, detailed specification, and documentation make it straightforward to present to your Board of Trustees and include in grant applications. The downloadable info pack includes technical drawings, high-resolution renders, and a Gantt chart — everything your board needs to approve with confidence.
