Find it at: Bower Road, Port Adelaide
Yitpi Yartapuultiku, meaning ‘Soul of Port Adelaide’ in Kaurna language opened in mid 2025, with visitors able to immerse themselves in Aboriginal culture and the stunning natural environment. The centre itself is open Monday to Friday 10am- 4pm and Sat to Sun 10am-2pm, with toilets located inside including a parent room. There is also a cafe located inside the centre which is closed on Mondays, however open the same opening hours as the centre mentioned above.
The playground is absolutely stunning and each play area is separated by its own path so it feels quite private when you are playing in one play space, even if there were other people at the playground.
The playground also feature little signage posts with different Kaurna language ( for example ‘brain’ is ‘mukamuka’ ) and descriptions explaining the meaning of the words.
Plenty of grassed area and all the parking you need. What a beautiful facility and playground this is. For the train lovers, the Port Adelaide line runs right past, so the kids will enjoy seeing them fly along.
