New designs revealed for Langhorne Creek Discovery Trail

5 August 2026

A new look at the Langhorne Creek Discovery Trail is giving locals and visitors a glimpse of a future walking and cycling experience that will connect wineries, parks and community spaces in one of South Australia's best-known wine regions.

A major tourism and community project for the Langhorne Creek region is moving closer, with Alexandrina Council unveiling the latest designs for the Langhorne Creek Discovery Trail.

The 2.8-kilometre shared walking and cycling trail will connect wineries, parks and community spaces, creating more opportunities for people to explore the region at their own pace.

Designed in partnership with local organisations and the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation, the trail will celebrate Langhorne Creek's wine heritage, natural environment, rich history and First Nations stories.

The project will introduce a range of new community spaces and visitor attractions.

First Reserve will become home to a nature-based playground featuring accessible play equipment, seasonal water play, First Nations storytelling, barbecue facilities and public toilets.

A striking new pedestrian bridge across the Bremer River will improve access while drawing inspiration from the region's iconic wine barrels.

Frank Potts Reserve will gain new picnic shelters, seating and a bicycle pump track, creating another welcoming space for families, campers and cyclists.

Alfred Langhorne Park will feature a new shelter for storytelling and community information while retaining its existing public artwork.

Along the trail, visitors will discover public art, landscaped rest areas, interpretive signage and hundreds of new trees and native plantings.

The wayfinding signs will also encourage people to explore beyond the trail, connecting them with local wineries, businesses and attractions across the wider region.

The Discovery Trail has been shaped through years of community consultation and collaboration with Langhorne Creek Grape and Wine, the Langhorne Creek Hub and the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation.

Together, the project will create high-quality public spaces, strengthen the local economy, encourage visitors to stay longer and celebrate the unique identity of Langhorne Creek.

Community members can learn more about the project and view the latest designs at a public information session on 16 August 2026.
