Structure

Goliath+ with Campus End + Apostle Cluster

The Goliath+ installation at Newland Park Skatepark forms part of a broader public precinct designed to support active use, informal gathering, and shared experience within a central Alice Springs setting.

Integrated alongside skating infrastructure and open circulation areas, the structure was positioned to complement the movement patterns already present within the park. Rather than operating as a singular destination, it contributes to the overall rhythm of the space - encountered as people move through, pause, or return over time.

The Goliath+ provides a variety of climbing angles and transitions that support different abilities and styles of movement. The addition of a Campus End introduces more dynamic, strength-based movement, while the Apostle Cluster offers lower-scale elements that encourage approachability, repetition, and social interaction.

Together, these elements create a layered experience - supporting both individual challenge and shared use - and allow the structure to respond to a wide range of users throughout the day.

“Newland Park has been a long time coming, and today is a really proud moment for Alice Springs.
This precinct was shaped with our community - young people, families, skaters and local groups all had a say in how this space should look and work, and it’s great to see that input come to life.”

— Asta Hill, Mayor of Alice Springs Town Council

In context, the climbing elements sit comfortably within the broader skate park environment, balancing scale and presence without dominating surrounding features. Some users engage immediately, others observe or use the space socially, reinforcing the role of the structure as part of the everyday life of the park.

The Newland Park installation was designed, engineered, and fabricated by the BOULDERING® team using durable materials suited to high-use public environments. The project demonstrates how modular structures can be configured and combined to suit site conditions, precinct layouts, and community use patterns.
