Don Wark joined the Play Australia Board in 2018 and later that year became the Treasurer.
Don established The Play Works in 1984 and as MD has been at the forefront of evolving playground and play equipment design throughout. Play Works won the 2006 National Playspace award for their breakthrough All-abilities playground at Pioneer Park and the 2015 award for the Frew Park playground that redefined the place of risk in play. Don served on the Australian Playground Standards Committee for 10 years and has been a long-time friend of Play Australia. "It is a jackpot in life’s lottery to love what you do, and to feel it important. I see play as the crucible of our future world, and the Play Australia mission as the best way I can be a part of that." |
