Onkaparinga Community Playground

At the northern end of the suburb, there is a large community playground located on land bounded by Saltfeet Street to the west and the River Onkaparinga in the east. This is a community built playground and as such is unique to South Australia. The sum of A$250 000 was raised from community sponsorship before the playground was built using community labour over the period of 18–23 June 2002. This project began after research by "Living Neighbourhood" in the suburb of Christies Beach. There was a public meeting, after which a non-profit incorporated body was formed for the project. As of 2013, the City of Onkaparinga had not decided on an official name with the result that the following names are in use – ''Jubilee Park'' and ''A E Young Reserve'' names by the South Australian government and ''Adventure Playground'' in use by the local community.
