The State Government has approved a major funding boost to support the reimagining of Kings Reserve, paving the way for a beautiful, inclusive and sustainable community park.

A new, more ambitious plan for redeveloping Kings Reserve has been released by the City of West Torrens following delays to the original planned Playspace upgrade.

The State Government has provided the City of West Torrens with a $2 million grant through the Department for Housing and Urban Development, which increases the total State Government contribution to almost $2.5 million.

Kings Reserve, located across from the Brickworks and next to the Thebarton Oval at Torrensville, is set to become a vibrant hub for recreation, relaxation and connection.

The updated vision for Kings Reserve includes:

• Extensive landscaping and open green spaces surrounded by trees and mounded turf
• Nature play and traditional playgrounds for children of all ages and abilities
• Active recreation facilities such as basketball, netball, skateboarding and a BMX pump track
• Shelters, BBQs, a public toilet and seating for community gatherings
• Expressions of Kaurna culture through interpretive signage, sculptures and an interpretive arbour representing significant local waterways and transport routes
• A red brick wall honouring the site’s brick-making heritage

The entire project is expected to cost $8.5 million.

The Council will continue to manage the project, providing regular updates to the State Government to ensure transparency and accountability.
