Southbank Boulevard Play Space

This exciting and challenging play space called ‘Rocks on Wheels’ was designed by Mike Hewson and was inspired by the Diane Arbus photograph with the same title.

Huge rocks have been playfully placed on fixed trolleys and are joined by a variety of play components. Watch out for the ‘runaway rocks’ as you walk along Southbank Boulevard towards the play space!
