We recently undertook community engagement to hear your thoughts on the draft concept plan for the renewal of the playground at H W Cox Reserve in Morphett Vale.

The draft concept plan includes replacement and relocation of the existing playground equipment featuring:
  • large play structure with 2 slides, monkey bars and various climbing elements
  • swing set that includes a toddler seat and basket swing
  • seesaw
  • spinner.

The design also includes the addition of:

  • drinking fountain with dog bowl
  • two shelters, both with picnic tables
  • seating
  • irrigated lawn area with soccer goal
  • tree planting.

The renewal also includes upgrades to the existing courts with:

  • fun and active roadway (learn to ride)
  • safari trail and square maze
  • acrylic surface for netball / pickleball and tennis court
  • basketball keyway and netball arc with new basketball backboard and netball ring
  • new court fencing.

You can view the draft concept plan below. Community engagement was open between 13 October and 3 November 2025.

We will now review the feedback and share an updated concept plan when available.

The renewal is expected to be undertaken within the 2026-27 financial year, subject to approval through council’s annual budget process.
