Stolen Generation Memorial and Healing Garden
Did you know The City of Playford has a Stolen Generation Memorial and Healing Garden located within Stebonheath Park?
In 2008, 'The Apology' to the Stolen Generations was announced in an historic speech by the then Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.
Inspired by this event, two Stolen Generation Aboriginal women from the Playford area began the Circle of Hope, a support group for survivors of the Stolen Generation. The Circle of Hope were inspired to have a Memorial and Healing Garden established locally. It is a place of remembrance, reflection and respect towards Aboriginal people, their families and communities.
Artwork completed by the Circle of Hope and other members of the Stolen Generations can be seen in the Garden.
The City of Playford is proud to have a place of remembrance, reflection and respect for the whole community and hopes to broaden and deepen South Australia's cultural richness.
