Awesome ideas for outdoor playtime

Steve and Melody at Geelong Playgrounds Just Awesome.

Dealing with families and kids comes naturally to business owners Melody and Steve at Playgrounds Geelong Just Awesome.
The pair previously managed family caravan parks for over three years and now have children at Mathew Flinders Girls Secondary College in Geelong.
Melody and Steve travelled around Australia for the last 10 years, returning to Geelong earlier this year.
The Highton-based duo say their main sellers at Just Awesome are kids’ cubby houses.
“People tell us they love their new kids’ cubbies,” Melody says.
“A lady said to us her kids were having so much fun that she couldn’t get them to come inside the house for dinner.”
Made from H4 Eco Wood, the cubbies are safe for kids and rot and termite-resistant, Melody explains.
“I have grandchildren, nieces and nephews who absolutely love coming here to our business. My nieces and nephews came all the way from New South Wales and spent the day here,” Melody laughs.
Playgrounds Geelong Just Awesome sells cubbies for adults and special-needs children as well as quality wooden sheds, swings, swing frames, trampolines, play equipment accessories, early-learning equipment, timber kennels and more.
“As well as giant garden games to hire for all ages and stages, our products are fun, good for the imagination and incentives to play outdoors”, Steve says.
The garden games include chess, connect-four, Jenga, snakes and ladders, pick-up sticks and more.
Playgrounds Geelong Just Awesome is at 238 Pakington Street, Geelong West, phone 5222 4484.
