The reserve, identified in the Open Space Strategic Management Plan 2018-23 as a District Family reserve has reached the end of its asset life and requires an upgrade. The upgrade aims to enhance the reserve's appearance, provide a high-quality playground suitable for use by the broader community and an irrigated lawn area.

With the support of Amanda Rishworth Member for Kingston, Karingal Reserve gained federal government funding of $500,000 towards the upgrade of the reserve, which is subject to a grant application process.

The concept plan includes:

  • New playground equipment: flying fox, rope climbing tower, a variety of ninja equipment, nature play
  • Fitness station
  • New picnic shelter, table and bench seats
  • Solar lights
  • New drinking fountains

Additionally, the state government, with the backing of Chris Picton, Member for Kaurna, will contribute $350,000 towards the construction of a new clubroom within the reserve for the Seaford Netball Club.
