Playground Renewal, Horseshoe Bay Port Elliot
Consultation has concluded
Alexandrina Council is seeking feedback for the renewal of playground equipment at the Flying Fish Reserve, Horseshoe Bay Port Elliot. Community Consultation for this project will be open from Tuesday 5 April until 25 April 2022.
The existing playground equipment is due for replacement and in agreement with the Port Elliot Town and Foreshore Association and Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) a priority has been to relocate the existing playground from the front of the (SLSC).
The new playground location will be 30m north of the existing location (see location map illustration), placing the equipment centrally near the climbing tree and reserve slope in the Flying Fish Reserve.

Both options provide climbing and interactive equipment, slides and feature soft-fall
