At the heart of the City of Playford are its people. Council actively encourages residents to connect with their wider community.

Regular exercise helps you live longer and keeps you fit and healthy, both mentally and physically. The City of Playford partners with organisations such as Live Life Get Active, Anglicare SA and the Roger Rasheed Foundation to provide free fitness activities in our parks, reserves and playgrounds.

While the City of Playford has traditionally been home to many migrants from the British Isles, in recent decades that trend has slowed. Now the City of Playford is home to many people whose country of birth may be found in the Middle East, Africa or Asia, as well as Europe and Britain.

The Elizabeth Rise Community Centre hosts a variety of local programs for residents in surrounding areas to learn, enjoy and develop their skills in a friendly welcoming environment.

Designed as a Hub for residents 50 years and older, the Grenville Hub has daily, weekly and monthly recurring events for patrons.

The Playford Wellbeing Hub delivers a range of programs and services to support community physical, social and mental health and wellbeing. The initiatives focus on supporting young people, families and older residents to stay socially connected and active, with a focus on wellbeing through food, physical activity and other health and wellbeing supports.
