About Us
More than equipment. We’re here to create places that matter.
At PARX, we believe outdoor and recreational spaces should enrich the lives of the people who use them. For us, it’s about more than just play or fitness. It’s about connection, imagination, movement and belonging—and creating spaces that support healthier, happier communities.
Our vision is to be Australia’s most trusted and forward-thinking provider of premium outdoor recreation equipment—known for bold design, quality craftsmanship and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Whether you’re specifying a playground, delivering a new park or shaping a landmark destination, we make it easier to create outdoor spaces that do more and mean more.
What We Do
PARX is a leading Australian manufacturer of outdoor recreation equipment. We design, engineer and fabricate high-quality solutions for play, fitness and aquatic environments—ready to specify or tailored to suit.
Originally established as Playscape Creations in 1998, we’ve grown from humble beginnings into a national business with a reputation for quality, reliability and innovation.
We’re experts at creating high-performing, long-lasting outdoor spaces that balance function, form and community value. For over two decades, we’ve delivered thousands of projects across the country, bringing outdoor spaces to life for schools, councils and communities of all sizes.
Our range includes traditional and nature play, sculptural splashparks, outdoor fitness stations and more—spanning complete systems to custom-built centrepieces.
Custom Capability
Our in-house specialist brands Third Place Design and Atlantis Liquid Dynamics offer expertise in custom design, large-scale projects and integrated placemaking. This gives our clients access to truly end-to-end thinking across design, manufacturing and delivery.

Can PARX manage installation too?
Absolutely. We offer full installation services through PARX Build—a team of experienced trades people and industry specialists. PARX Build is qualified as an open builder under QBCC (1141852) in Queensland, and is supported by an interstate network across Australia. If you’d prefer to manage installation yourself, we’re also happy to supply equipment only—with fully documented plans and assembly instructions to support your nominated contractor.

We offer fixed-price servicing and scheduled maintenance packages to help protect your investment long term. Whether we install the equipment or you manage it in-house, we can support your team to keep everything in top condition. Every product also comes with maintenance instructions and a recommended servicing schedule to guide ongoing care.
Who typically works with PARX?
We work with schools, local councils, developers and landscape architects—supporting everything from compact upgrades to full-scale recreational precincts.
What makes PARX different from other suppliers?
We’re Australian-owned, manufacture locally and offer full end-to-end capability—from design to delivery—across play, fitness and aquatics. We’re known for providing high-quality equipment, exceptional service and a grounded, practical approach.
Do you have experience with council procurement processes?
Yes. We regularly work with local and regional councils and understand the compliance, documentation and stakeholder requirements involved.
Can I get help choosing the right equipment for my space?
Every product on our site includes clear specifications and space requirements, so you can self-specify with confidence. If your project requires additional custom support, our specialist teams at Third Place Design and Atlantis Liquid Dynamics are here to help—offering tailored design services for complex or destination-scale projects.
Do you have examples of past projects?
Absolutely. We’ve delivered thousands of projects across Australia. You can talk to our team for relevant examples in your area.
How long does it take to deliver a project?
Timeframes vary depending on the project scope and delivery method. Modular products typically have shorter lead times, with clear specifications available on each product. Some items are made to order, while others are available in stock for faster turnaround. Custom projects or larger precincts may require a longer lead time and are planned collaboratively to meet your timeline. Our team are more than happy to discuss timeframes for your specific site and scope.
