read moreConstruction has been completed on the $190,000 Apex Park Inclusive Playspace in the Town of Gawler, located in Adelaide’s north.
Chosen by the community, the playspace design derives from the three Rivers that run through Gawler, reflecting upon the importance of water to the area, both past and present.
The project has delivered a more inclusive space for all ages and abilities – supported by $40,000 from the Australian Government under the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, $60,000 from the South Australian Government and $90,000 from the Town of Gawler Council.
The new accessible walkway represents Para River, connecting the existing two main entrances to four new inclusive play zones, which sit along the banks of the walkway like mini billabongs.
Each billabong targets several types of play, to help encourage a variety of play experiences for all ages and abilities.
Town of Gawler Mayor Karen Redman advised “We believe in building a community where everyone feels welcome and included, and this playspace is a tangible expression of that vision.
“Together, let's continue building a Gawler that embraces diversity, fosters inclusion, and creates spaces where memories are made for generations to come."
Town of Gawler Acting Chief Executive Andrew Goodsell added “In line with Town of Gawler’s Draft Playspace Strategy, the project demonstrates Council’s commitment to creating engaging and accessible spaces for everyone to enjoy.
“As we celebrate the opening of this exciting venture, we are grateful for the collaborative efforts between Australian, state and local goverments that have brought us to this moment.”
