A Message From Our Founder, Marcel Veraart
When we started Playscape Creations more than 27 years ago, the goal was pretty simple: to create great outdoor spaces that helped communities thrive. Since then, our team, and the work we do, has grown in ways of which I’m incredibly proud.
From our early work in surfacing and playground installation to becoming one of Australia’s leading suppliers of premium outdoor recreation equipment, we’ve always put people first and focused on impact.
But it’s fair to say we’ve outgrown the Playscape Creations name. Our work now spans far beyond this. We design and manufacture everything from nature-inspired play with our signature Rustik range, through to custom splashparks and destination playscapes—with 80% of our products proudly manufactured right here in Australia. We support large-scale design tenders, engineer bespoke architectural elements, and partner with councils, schools and landscape architects to bring bold ideas to life.
That’s why we’ve made the decision to officially transition to PARX.
This change gives us the clarity and identity to match the scale of who we are today. It also brings all parts of our business under one strong, united banner. From design to delivery, the PARX Group now brings together four key brands:
- PARX – our core product and manufacturing arm
- Third Place Design – our specialist custom design studio
- Atlantis Liquid Dynamics – our expert team in water play and aquatic features
- PARX Build – our licensed construction division
Despite this change to our business structure, I want to reassure you that we’re still the same team, driven by the same passion and purpose. We’re just stepping into a future where our identity matches our capability. One that gives us room to keep growing, innovating and supporting the communities and clients we serve, each and every day.
Whether you’ve worked with us from the start or are just discovering what we do—I want to thank you for being part of our story. I’m genuinely excited for what’s to come.
Sincerely,
Marcel Veraart
Founder and Managing Director, PARX Group
