Partridge is proud to have been part of the team transforming the historic Sweetacres factory into a lively new playground and green space for Rosebery. Our structural engineering expertise helped bring the vision of landscape architect Gallagher Studio and designers Tilt Industrial Design and Regal Innovations to life. Regal Design collaborated with Tilt, who provided design services and managed the fabrication and installation for the play equipment, while Partridge ensured the structural integrity of the playground design, considering factors like user loads, stability, and material suitability. The park, named Allsorts Park and Honeykiss Park after popular Sweetacres candies, honours the site’s rich history as the former home of James Stedman Henderson Ltd., a confectionery giant founded in 1850. The factory, operational until the 1960s, produced beloved treats like Jaffas and Fantales.
