Here’s To Strength is a beautiful local community hub where you can access a multitude of support and resources. Along with their Wellness Hub, they have a beautiful café which is available for anyone to visit and enjoy, and is incredibly family friendly. I’m talking multiple seating areas with plenty of space to navigate a pram, a beautiful backyard space with a cubby, swing and lots of toys, plus ANIMALS! Their gorgeous ducks and rabbits can be found running around in their pens (or around the backyard, if you’re there at the right time) and are so much fun for the kids to watch while you enjoy a coffee and delicious food!
Their café is a welcoming community safe space offering soul comforting, organic, fresh, locally sourced, consciously plated food, accessible to all, no matter your dietary needs or budget. Their kids snack plate was a real winner with my little ones, as well as their delicious babyccinos! My favourite is their Weekend Brunch with a delicious latte, and finishing off with a sweet treat from their cabinet!

Work has begun on the new skate park – the latest piece of a long term vision to redevelop Aldinga Sports Park. The new skate park was designed by CONVIC – a world leader in skate park and youth space design and construction – and it’ll be built south of the Aldinga football oval, just west of Main South Road. The skate park has been made possible through a $1.3 million state government grant with the support of Leon Bignell, Member for Mawson. The City of Onkaparinga undertook community engagement on the project in December 2023, and then again in March-April 2024 once a draft concept plan had been created. The project includes: skate bowl and street skating that is capable of hosting events and competitions lighting irrigated turf for seating and viewing a shelter with benches footpaths and car park Construction is expected to be completed around March 2025. Thanks to City of Onkaparinga for the images.
