Printed on 100% recycled paper. Welcome back! Following a brief closure to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Council’s playgrounds re-opened to hundreds of children and families on 6 May.

Encouraging everyone to continue enjoying our many parks and playgrounds, Mayor Bria also asks everyone to continue adhering to social distancing measures and practicing good hygiene.

“Why not take a stroll or bike ride along the River Torrens Linear Reserve, explore St Peters Billabong, immerse in nature play at Felixstow Reserve, enjoy the accessible playground at Drage Reserve (pictured) or explore the new facilities at Syd Jones Reserve.”
