This design utilised existing vegetation to form the base of a nature playground focusing on exploration and adventure. Sandy swales and dry creek beds provide further connection to natural elements, while simultaneously managing overland flow paths and creating excitement during rainfall.

The Carol to Laurinda shared active transport corridor demonstrates Fred St’s ability to design fluid and functional spaces that enhance community access. The site is an extended parkland that joins Carol Avenue with Laurinda Crescent, involving the upgrade of existing parkland, along with design of an adjacent resumed block to create the corridor. This project received the AILA Queensland 2022 Small Projects Award of Excellence.

FRED St designed and documented the baseball grounds for James Drysdale Reserve. This included the sport field design, dugout design and layout and the field subsurface drainage design. The ancillary elements to the reserve that were also developed from concept design were the playground, exercise nodes and amenity landscape.

FRED St worked with Toowoomba Regional Council on the delivery of the detailed design for the Oakey Creek Corridor. Taking the direction from a previously commissioned masterplan, Fred St developed the design to provide the means to establish this series of parklands as a linked District Level recreational asset. This project received the AILA Queensland 2018 Regional Achievement Award.

Smith Collective Park was delivered in concept design and detailed design stages as part of upgrades to the public facilities at Commonwealth Games Village. Centrally located within a residential precinct, the aim was to provide the community with an all ages and abilities recreational space. In this constricted site, the selection of play equipment optimised space and supported ease of access through the space. Landform was strategically used to generate the most play potential within tight spaces.
