About Wearthy At Wearthy, we believe play can change lives. We design and build bespoke nature-inspired playscapes and environments that nurture creativity, resilience, and connection in children. Our projects span childcare centres, schools, and community spaces across Australia and beyond. Our approach is shaped by the Ecology of Play, a philosophy that recognises children thrive when play environments are diverse, natural, and connected. Every boulder, tree, sandpit, and log has a role in sparking curiosity, imagination, and discovery.
