Thank you to everyone who provided feedback as part of this initial stage of designing the play space at Kersbrook Soldiers Memorial Park.
Designs are now complete and we're getting ready to start construction of this exciting new play space. Check out all the images of what the space will look like in the photo gallery to the right of this page.

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 Kersbrook 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 third of the $180,000 will need to cover landscaping and site preparation and the other half will be used for play space elements (equipment, seating, nature play elements and signage).
Not included in the project is lighting, bbqs, public toilets, parking and fencing.

Tell us your ideas.
Remember there's only $120,000 and this needs to cover all the site preparation works too. We won't be building car parking, public toilets, shelters, bbqs, fencing or lighting.
We want to hear your ideas about new play equipment, seating, minor landscaping and signage.

Shade
It would be good to see some shade sails over some of the main pieces of equipment as the area is subjected to a lot of sun.

Adult outdoor exercise equipment
I have seen other areas around Adelaide that have outdoor adult exercise "stations" that use your own body weight to provide resistance. Adults could exercise while watching their children.
