Gillieston Heights’ outdoor environment features four designated play spaces complete with dry river beds, sandpits, mud kitchens, bike pathways, garden beds, climbing structures, tepees, and a basket swing. The centre also features a ‘bush kinder’ environment which allows for free play in a natural setting designed to promote exploration and discovery, complete with a mud pit, climbing hill, and lots of natural elements.
