Case Study
June 2026

Kids Reserve Wellington wanted a safe, engaging environment for their busy preschoolers, along with a low-maintenance, easy-to-clean outdoor space for staff. Whether they’re crawling, skipping or walking, the colourful graphic pathway takes children on a playful journey through the transformed space. Custom grass graphics add warmth, character and a welcoming feel, creating an inviting environment for play and exploration.


How did you find working with Think Turf?
Excellent. From our very first email interaction, we were impressed with the communication, regular check-ins, and patience shown as we worked through securing grants. Sally’s communication and commitment to ensuring a smooth installation process were greatly appreciated. The installation team were fantastic as well—professional, reliable, efficient, and always on time.
What has the reaction from the children and staff been like?
The response from our whānau, kaiako, and tamariki has been overwhelmingly positive. The space feels brighter, more open, and far more inviting. Children are confidently running and playing without the worry of uneven ground, while the soft surface is comfortable for sitting, playing, and especially beneficial for our crawling babies.
What is one thing you would tell another Principal considering a turf upgrade?
Absolutely worth it. The turf is bright, colourful, low-maintenance, comfortable, easy to clean, and creates an inviting environment for children and families. There are plenty of design options available to suit different spaces. We have been so pleased with the result that upgrading our over-two outdoor environment with turf is already on our future wish list.
