We are thrilled to open the first stage of the Village Green park renovation. The lawn has had its first mow (yay!) and it’s ready for lots of activities. You can bring a rug and a picnic, bask in the sun, read a book, kick a ball, let the dog have a run, play with the kids, fly a kite….so many activities on this fantastic new space!

We have planted some great trees too! Three beautiful Kelly’s Gold Maples will provide a glorious autumn bright yellow colour, and more importantly lovely summer shade. Along the internal fence line, we have planted nine Diamonds In The Dark Crepe Myrtles which will be spectacular in the late spring and summer with bright pink/red foliage!

There will be some further plantings too which will be an understory of hakea and native grasses (hopefully rabbit proof!).

You will notice the new entry from Onkaparinga Road, which looks great!

At some point in the future, depending on funding, we hope to provide better all-ability pathways to the toilet, a toddler bike path, a large rotunda for gatherings and celebrations, as well as a new toilet facility.
