Pod Playground – National Arboretum Canberra, Australia

Surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of Australia’s National Arboretum, Pod Playground is a woodland creature’s dream. Your little squirrels will love climbing into the giant acorn cubby houses that lead the way to winding slides. Inspired by the arboretum’s forests of rare and endangered trees from around the world, the award-winning playground was designed by Australian landscape architecture and urban design firm, Taylor Cullity Lethlean in collaboration with Tonkin Zulaikha Greer.
