The City of Onkaparinga plans to upgrade Karingal Reserve in Port Noarlunga South in the next financial year.

Identified as a District Family reserve, a review has determined it has reached the end of its asset life and needs an upgrade. 

The aim is to enhance its appearance, provide a high-quality playground suitable for use by the broader community and an irrigated lawn area. 

Federal government funding of $500,000 towards the upgrade, with a concept plan that includes:

• New playground equipment: flying fox, rope climbing tower, a variety of ninja equipment, nature play.
• Fitness station.
• New picnic shelter, table and bench seats.
• Solar lights.
• New drinking fountains.

The state government will also contribute $350,000 towards construction of a new clubroom for the Seaford Netball Club within the reserve.

The council will hold a drop-in session at the reserve to outline the plans and gain community input on Wednesday 14 June, from 4pm to 5.30pm.
