Construction of the new splash park at the Woodside Pool is now underway with the community attraction set to open in time for summer 2025.
This project is a partnership between the Adelaide Hills Council, The Adelaide Hills War Memorial Swimming Centre (Woodside Pool) and the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. The new splash park will be an exciting addition to the swimming centre and will include a dumper bucket, water cannons, cascading mushrooms, ground and arch sprays, and a rock feature with a hand pump that directs water through weirs.
Construction is expected to be complete by the end of June (weather permitting) and the splash park will be ready for use when the pool reopens for the summer pool season in November 2025.
The works also coincide with an SAPN power supply upgrade that will be happening on Nairne Road in May, which involves the installation of a pole mounted transformer on a new pole and all associated civil work. The power supply upgrade will ensure that the Adelaide Hills War Memorial Swimming Centre has sufficient power to run the new equipment.
Council expect to open this exciting addition to the community in November 2025.

Our crawler makes the most of the long stretches of flooring and climbs all over the large rocks. - For little ones walking, the playground offers swings, a large spinning wheel, slide and climbing triangle. - For the more adventurous and thrill seeking the large Skate Park facilities or BMX trail may be the fix. - For those who want to explore nature there is the flagstaff rotary walk with both paved and natural path's. Alternatively the kids may want to create their own fun and make a branch cubby. - Even the family dog wins with the fully fenced Minkarra dog park. - For a quick workout (or show the kids how strong dad is), the permanent outdoor gym with soft flooring is the place to be. Minkarra is a bit isolated from any shops or cafes so a suggestion would be to swing by The Hub shopping centre in Aberfoyle park or…

Find it at: Park Cres, Brighton We do love ourselves a fully fenced playground and this one at Brighton is little, but covered by lots of natural shade and has equipment suited for the under 5s. It's located in a quiet area and is surrounded by a nice size grass area where you can have more of a run around, kick a ball or have a picnic.
