Bringing the Olympics to play spaces with one of our exclusive partners Industrial By Nature. The only Australian-made, award-winning bouldering structures in the market.

The 2024 Paris Olympics opens today, and the recent inclusion of sports climbing and bouldering has sparked a wave of excitement and inspiration among kids and teens. These dynamic and thrilling structures have captured the imagination of youths all over the world, encouraging them to get active and challenge themselves.

Proudly Australian Made

One of Austek Play’s exclusive manufacturing partners, Industrial by Nature (IBN) are the only Australian company operating in this space. They epitomise innovation with their award-winning designs and climbing structures. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in Melbourne, these structures boast a modular architecture that is as aesthetically striking as it is meticulously detailed.

Integrating the Olympics into schools and play spaces through bouldering can significantly enhance physical education and youth engagement. Bouldering, a discipline of climbing that involves climbing without ropes on shorter walls, promotes strength, flexibility, problem-solving, and confidence. By introducing Olympic-style bouldering, schools can inspire students to adopt healthier lifestyles and develop a passion for sports – nurturing the next generation of Olympic athletes.

Award Winning Design

One of the standout features is the multiple award-winning “Bouldering” range, which has revolutionised the concept of playground climbing. This range introduces the Challenge Play™ concept, an innovative approach to unstructured play that empowers children to challenge themselves in unique ways. Unlike traditional playground equipment that dictates specific uses, Challenge Play™ allows children to use their imagination and determination to continually create new and different obstacles. This open-ended play environment encourages kids to push their boundaries and explore their physical capabilities in a thrilling and engaging way.

Customisable Climbing Experiences

Adding to the allure of the IBN climbing structures are the customisable rock grips available in various colours and difficulty levels. These grips allow for the creation of paths tailored to users of different abilities, ensuring that every child can participate and be challenged at their own level. Whether a beginner just learning to climb or an experienced young climber seeking new challenges, the modular design accommodates a wide range of skill levels. This inclusivity is key to fostering an environment where all children can play together, learn from each other, and develop at their own pace.

Setting a New Standard in Playground Equipment

The climbing structures are more than just playground equipment; they are a testament to what can be achieved when design, engineering, and manufacturing are executed with excellence. Austek Play’s partnership with Industrial by Nature highlights their commitment to bringing the best in play experiences to children everywhere. By setting new standards in safety, creativity, and inclusivity, they are not just building playgrounds but shaping the future of play – and encouraging aspiring young Olympians!
