New Apex Park Inclusive Playspace now complete!
Published 26th March 2024
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. The funding breakdown is as follows:
$60,000 – Community Infrastructure Grant (CIG) – South Australian Government
$40,000 – Local Roads Community Infrastructure Program Grant (LRCIP) – Phase 3 – Commonwealth Government of Australia
$90,000 – Town of Gawler Council Contribution
We look forward to seeing the community enjoying this new inclusive space!
