Project Update: Construction
We're excited to inform you that the construction of the Charleston Play Space has started and is proposed to be completed (weather dependent) by the end of May 2021. The play space design may alter during construction to ensure the best fit for the landscape and equipment.
During construction the play space will be unavailable and we apologise for any inconvenience.
Please take a moment to view the concept plan in the document library to the right.

Background
This play space upgrade was identified in the Council’s 2019/20 Annual Business Plan and $120,000 has been allocated to undertake the works.
The Charleston play space is classified as a ‘Local’ Play Space. A ‘Local’ Play Space in the Adelaide Hills Council is:
- An area intended for local play, often equipment based
- Visited by people who live nearby, sometimes by foot, for a short period of time.
Approximately a third of the $180,000 will need to cover landscaping and site preparation and the other half will be used for play space elements (eg equipment, seating, nature play elements and signage).
Not included in the project is lighting, bbqs, public toilets, parking and fencing.
Imagine your play space
Tell us about your favourite play space. Maybe it is a real space, maybe it is a space you have imagined.

Why is this your favourite?
There is a park run that I sometimes attend near there. I would like to see permanent work out equipment in the park so that this community can warm up, cool down or just exercise with this equipment. I also use the toilet there frequently so an upgrade of those facilities would be great too.
