The $190k Inclusive playspace at Gawler opened to the public in May 2024, is a fantastic addition to the popular Gawler family hotspot.
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 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.
The realisation of the Apex Park Inclusive Playspace was made possible through a collaborative effort, with grant funding and a contribution from the Town of Gawler.

There are many things we love about Clonlea Park on Murray Road in Gawler. Since its revamp in 2015 there is something for everyone. The new skate park is a major hit with a lot of kids both young and old. There is also a small playground near there to keep the little ones happy while the big ones skate. The main playground is so much fun, complete with rope climbing tower. Clonlea Park is full of different walking trails, perfect to get in touch with nature, following the river. There are also tennis courts available for use. Clonlea Park has many tables, a few BBQ's and toilets. The only downside is lack of covered area's to play, eat and escape the rain or hot sun. Thanks to Shona for this review. Clonlea Park Where: Murray Road, Willaston SA [wpgmza id="138" cat="1" marker="279" zoom="16"]
