Parks and playgrounds
Councils create and maintain thousands of beautiful parks and playgrounds across South Australia.
These vibrant spaces serve as ideal gathering spots for picnics, recreational activities and quality time with friends and family.
Outdoor spaces provide a haven where children's imaginations soar as they engage in playful adventures. These spaces offer an escape into nature, rejuvenating the mind and spirit.
Councils care for and enhance outdoor spaces in a range of ways, including:
- maintaining and caring for parks such as mowing grass and pruning trees
- landscaping structured gardens
- growing and planting new seasonal flowers
- taking care of bins and rubbish
- controlling pest plants and feral animals
- installing and maintaining park equipment such as benches, tables and barbecues
- keeping areas safe and secure with lighting.
Local ideas help shape outdoor spaces
Councils actively engage in planning, designing and constructing these spaces with input from the community.
Through community consultation, councils ensure they have different perspectives and understand of the wants and needs of the residents in their area.
