The City of Playford is continuing to expand its network of shared-use paths, delivering smoother, more accessible routes for walkers, runners, and cyclists across the city.
Council has delivered 2.6 kilometres of new or upgraded shared-use paths across the city in 2024/25, supporting safe and convenient access to schools, parks, sporting facilities, and public transport, while encouraging more people to choose active travel.
In Andrews Farm, the shared-use path through Greenfields Reserve has been widened from 1.8 to 3 metres and upgraded from asphalt to concrete. Located in a popular residential neighbourhood and close to local schools, the improved path provides a smoother and more accessible route for students, families, and people walking, running or cycling through the area.
In Elizabeth Downs, a new 1.03 km shared-use path has been constructed along Midway Road, between Dockett Road and McKenzie Road, complementing the ongoing upgrade to Argana Park, one of Playford's key sporting hubs. The path improves access for both players and volunteers attending games, training and events at the popular precinct.
In Craigmore, 600 metres of shared-use path along Adams Road, from Uley Road to Zurich Road, has also been upgraded, while an additional 770 metres was completed in May along Blair Park Drive.
The upgrade also creates a seamless link with the Smith Creek Trail, forming a continuous corridor for recreation and transport connections to local services, parks and public transport.
Mayor Glenn Docherty said the program reflects Council's focus on practical infrastructure that supports day-to-day living for local families.
"These shared-use paths feel more comfortable for people walking, cycling, scooting, or travelling to and from school and public transport," Mayor Docherty said.
"Shared-use paths are about connecting people to their neighbourhood, outdoors and the Playford community."
These projects form part of Council's ongoing commitment to improving local infrastructure that supports active lifestyles and better connects our growing community.
Three of the shared-use path upgrades were delivered with $500,000 from the 2024/2025 State Bicycle Fund, provided by the Malinauskas Labor Government.
