Gawler Youth Recreational and Open Space Precinct

The Gawler Youth Recreational and Open Space Precinct is an outstanding asset for the Town of Gawler and its community achieved by innovative management practices. This space was used as a live project through a participation pilot with Child Friendly South Australia, resulting in the Town of Gawler being recognised by The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) as a Child Friendly City. One of the first three in Australia.

The precinct is a facility like no other in Northern Adelaide and the Barossa region located at Clonlea Park, Gawler. The precinct is a vibrant and safe, child and youth friendly, multi-use recreational and sports zone.

The asset sets a new standard of consultation and open space delivery. The Town of Gawler embraced a new engagement strategy that ensured the voices of children and young people were strongly heard and acted upon at all levels.
