Project update May 2025
Construction almost complete
Construction is well underway and on track to be completed in mid-late May 2025.
Due to budget restraints, there were some changes to the design that included:
- Climbing pyramid with slide changed to a climbing structure with slide.
- Reduction in brick paving.
- Playground entry gate has moved from the eastern fenceline to the southern fenceline.
You can view the changes on the updated final concept design.
Mural painting about to commence at Patapinda Road toilet block
The design for the mural on the toilet block has been finalised by artist Cat Dean who will commence work from Monday 12 May 2025.
The mural features some of the activities in the sports park and a view of the river, including the unofficial mascot for Old Noarlunga, the Nankeen Night Heron. This mural takes into consideration many of the themes that we heard during community engagement.
The mural will enhance the upgrade of the adjacent playground.

Background
The playground at the Old Noarlunga Oval, Patapinda Road, Old Noarlunga has been identified for an upgrade.
We developed a draft concept plan that included a new pirate climbing tower and nest swing as well as a new irrigated lawn area and tree planting.
We also asked the community for suggestions regarding potential themes for a mural that will be added to the amenities block at a later date.
Consultation on the draft concept plan and ideas for the mural was undertaken in October and November 2023.
