Majestic Park
Coorparoo, Queensland
The Brisbane City Council asked us to design a themed playground at Majestic Park. The council were aware how much the dragon in the existing playground meant to the community, and therefore we wanted to build on this theme by designing a Castle with a resident Dragon. We asked local schoolboy, Charlie Hadwen to write a short story to bring the playground to life which we are proud to publish below.
Razor Wing’s Castle of Magical Wonders
A long, long time ago this castle was home to a dragon called Razor Wing. He had the soul of a god, a god who was devoted to protecting the castle that belonged to his family. He spent years protecting it from people who wanted the magical treasure that he possessed. Legend has it that even today he protects it from unworthy people who dare seek his legendary powers.
This castle is a place of magical wonders. It is said that if you complete the obstacles within the castle, walk upon Razor Wing’s scaly back and tap both of his heads, you will unlock the true magical treasures of the castle. When entering the castle, you must make sure that you have a sword at hand ready to fend off any dangers that come upon you. But beware… it has been said that the ghost of Razor Wing is still around and you may feel the heat from Razor Wing’s mouth of blazing fire. At night, they say you can still hear his mighty ferocious roar.
Good luck young adventurers.
