Find it at: Semaphore Foreshore, Semaphore

Semaphore Foreshore is set for an exciting transformation, with plans underway for a world-class redevelopment that will enhance one of Adelaide’s favourite beachside destinations while preserving the heritage charm locals know and love.

The revitalised foreshore will continue to celebrate its iconic attractions, including the historic monument, the much-loved carousel, the jetty, train hub, expansive grassy picnic areas and the vibrant calendar of community events that have made Semaphore a family favourite for generations.

But it’s the new family-focused features that have us most excited.

Plans include a brand-new destination playground designed to encourage climbing, exploring and imaginative play, alongside an interactive water play area perfect for cooling off on warm summer days. A new multi-use court will provide space for a variety of ball sports and active play, while a modern skate park will give older kids and teens a dedicated place to ride, practise tricks and hang out with friends.

Accessibility is at the heart of the redevelopment, with improved pathways, upgraded amenities and inclusive spaces designed so people of all ages and abilities can enjoy everything the foreshore has to offer. Whether you’re visiting with a pram, wheelchair, scooter or bike, the new layout aims to make exploring the foreshore easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

The redevelopment is all about creating a destination where families can spend an entire day. Picture the kids climbing through an incredible new playground, splashing in the water play, shooting hoops or kicking a ball on the multi-court, older siblings mastering new tricks at the skate park, then everyone meeting for fish and chips on the lawns before a stroll along the jetty or a ride on the historic carousel.

Semaphore has always been one of Adelaide’s most loved family beach destinations, and this redevelopment promises to make it even better—blending exciting new attractions with the timeless seaside charm that keeps families coming back year after year.

Works are due to commence February 2027 and will include

  • A newly upgraded playground which will feature a bespoke play tower
  • A brand new water play area
  • A new plaza-type skatepark
  • Multi-sports court to accommodate 3×3 basketball, netball, pickleball and 4-square
  • 5 new sheltered seating areas
  • An upgraded picnic shelter with new furniture and BBQ stove
  • A new beach access ramp
  • A new kiosk building with seating
  • New toilets, including a disability change room
  • beach wheelchair hiring facilities
