Life in one of Adelaide’s fastest-growing northern suburbs is about to get a whole lot more fun – and active – as residents prepare for the opening of a state-of-the-art 5500sqm playground development.
Opening on Saturday, February 7, the $2.5m Harvest Green Park playground, which will promote adventurous play, will be the centrepiece of the Land Australia-built Evergreen estate.
The park features 18 pieces of play equipment catering for children young and old, with the central feature a raised play area with towers reaching almost 10m high and providing access to slides.
The playground development will also feature a half basketball court, football and soccer goals and grass area for games; a nature play space with native plantings, two flying foxes, in-ground trampolines, a large log scramble and scramble nets, a play tunnel, and a shelter and seating areas – all interconnected by paths and shaded by a large tree canopy.

Hickinbotham Group – the parent company of Land Australia – managing director, Michael Hickinbotham said he was proud of the thriving community that was already calling Roseworthy home and looked forward to the park “serving generations of families to come”.
“Driven by the latest innovation in design, Harvest Green Park is a play space for
recreation, adventure and connection,” he said.
“We believe it will become a central meeting place for families, where children’s imaginations can run free as parents forge friendships with neighbours.

“Harvest Green Park takes inspiration from Evergreen estate’s botanical theme and we have woven in natural elements such as boulders, logs and embankments for climbing, balancing and jumping.
“Drawing on the groundbreaking work of former Thinker in Residence, Professor Fraser Mustard, Hickinbotham Group has long championed community playgrounds as a way for children to learn through meaningful play that encourages risk-taking and fosters intelligent decision-making in a safe environment to build confidence.”

It is the latest milestone in the $504m Roseworthy development, which will be home to more than 750 families across Evergreen and the neighbouring Flourish estate, when complete.
As of today, 175 homes have been built and another 64 are under construction in the project that is set to contribute $531m to Gross State Product and create more than 3200 full-time equivalent jobs.

Harvest Green Park is the latest in a series of ambitious playgrounds announced by the Hickinbotham Group – SA’s largest builder and developer – with bold play spaces being announced late last year in Port Noarlunga South’s Sunset development and a $2m amenity recently unveiled in Strathalbyn’s Aurora.
Roseworthy, a masterplanned community, sits across 60ha with 12 of these being parklands, and has an average block size of 720sqm.
