Hendrie Street Reserve Inclusive Playground | Park Holme

Hendrie Street Reserve Inclusive Playground 

In a South Australian first, a new inclusive playground was designed to cater for all ages and abilities and includes elements for a broad range of disabilities. The playground is situated at Hendrie Street Reserve in Park Holme (just behind the Marion Outdoor Swimming Centre) and is a place where children of all abilities can play side-by-side.

Consideration has been given to children who may have mobility issues, vision/hearing impairments and spectrum disorders such as Autism.

The park features wheelchair access to the first level of the main structure, swings, slides, a carousel, bike track, sand and water play, fruit trees and accessible toilets.

The playground features include:

  • a wheelchair accessible carousel
  • swings
  • a hill slide
  • a nature play creek
  • play tables
  • an accessible cubby house
  • water play areas
  • BBQs and picnic shelters
  • toilets with disabled access and baby change facilities
  • the site is fenced and protected by shade sails

This is an off-leash park where dogs can exercise off-leash, except within 5 metres of a playground, at a wetland or when organised sport is being played.

This inclusive playspace, the first of its kind in SA, has been built as a collaboration by The Touched by Olivia Foundation, the City of Marion, the South Australian Government and the community.

The reserve also features a large grassed area, 3 on 3 basketball and is adjacent to the Marion Outdoor Pool and historic Patritti vineyards.
