Rainbow Bird Playground: The Artists

From singing and clapping to listening and observing, Rainbow Bird Playground invites visitors to invent and discover their way through a giant temporary chalk installation. The interactive experience requires no props or devices. Simply bring along a playful mindset, pick a starting point, and let your imagination guide you through the branching paths.

Rainbow Bird Playground is the first socially-distanced chalk playscape to hit Melbourne and has been designed especially for Bunjil Place! Come discover what has been trending internationally right in your local area.
