McGilp Recreation Park Upgrade

Updates

Major oval and sporting upgrades are now complete, with informal recreation elements — including the adjacent playground and new pump track, still to come.

Council has refreshed the existing clubrooms, with new kitchen facilities, upgraded toilets, and a fresh coat of paint to improve the overall look and feel of the space.

The extended oval now accommodates both full-sized senior and junior soccer pitches, allowing the One Tree Hill Soccer Club to host all home games at McGilp Recreation Park for the first time.

We’ll share another update once the informal recreational area is complete.

About this project

This is an exciting upgrade to the popular McGilp Recreation Park at One Tree Hill, which has featured enhancing amenities to improve the athlete and spectator experience at the site.

Council’s transformation of the township’s major sport and recreation facility includes:

  • An extension to the oval
  • New changeroom facilities
  • Resurfacing of the tennis courts
  • Formalised parking for easy access
  • A new bike track to the informal recreation space
  • Improved spectator amenities such as seating

The extension to the oval will allow for both a full-sized senior and a full-sized junior soccer pitch to be accommodated at the site, which means whole-of-club game days can be held at One Tree Hill.

The new changerooms will be available to tennis, cricket and soccer players, and the new bike track will add another recreation opportunity for locals and visitors.

This project was identified in Council’s Open Space Strategy and is jointly funded by the City of Playford and the State Government through the Office for Recreation, Sport & Racing.
