Gillian Aldridge, OAM Mayor of Salisbury
Summer is arguably the most exciting season of the year and we all deserve to celebrate. In rain, hail or shine, we are working behind the scenes to plan free and affordable events suited to the whole community. Luckily, by being adaptable and working in line with COVID-19 health directives, Council was proud to deliver a number of popular and important events in 2021 – from our annual Vietnam Veterans’ Day Ceremony, to family fun days at St Kilda, Ingle Farm, Bridgestone and Carisbrooke.
9 January
2022 will prove no exception and over the coming months, there are a number of major celebrations on the calendar.
10 Salisbury Fringe Carnival
Annual favourites are back again including Australia Day Breakfast festivities, Salisbury Fringe Carnival, International Women’s Day Cocktail Evening and Harmony Week celebrations.
11 February
From mid-January, Saturday Sessions in the Plaza are back every Saturday between 11am and 2pm with free fun.
12 Saturday Sessions, International Women’s Day, Harmony Week 13 March 14 Salisbury Community Fun Day
You can also save the date for our next Salisbury Community Fun Day, planned to take place on 27 March at The Paddocks. I hope you find this edition of Discover Salisbury magazine a handy guide for upcoming events and resources and encourage you to follow Discover Salisbury on Facebook and Instagram for up-todate information. Most importantly, have a safe and enjoyable summer and I look forward to bumping into you at one of our upcoming events!

Springbank Boulevard Reserve
Gone with the wetlands – explore our favourites With world class wetlands on our doorstep – home to over 160 different species of birds, frogs, fish or fauna – there’s a maze of natural wonders just waiting to be discovered. The largest of these is the Greenfield Wetlands – the City of Salisbury’s premier wetlands, covering more than 114 hectares, making it one of the first large, constructed urban wetlands in Australia. It’s a perfect green escape from the surrounding busy city infrastructure and the sea of traffic on the Salisbury Highway. As the sunny weather looks to stay it’s tempting to get out for a walk, so why not skip the bitumen footpaths and streetways for a stroll along the wetlands and boardwalks instead?
Greenfields Wetlands
We’ve highlighted a few of our favourite picks for you to explore and enjoy next time.
Greenfields Wetlands The wetlands cover two key sections that are divided by the Salisbury Highway. Enter the northern side from the turn-off to The Watershed Café on Salisbury Highway at Mawson Lakes. Alternatively, enter the Southern side from Magazine Road on Salisbury Highway at Dry Creek. The wetlands are always open; however, the gated sections are only open between 8am and 4pm. There’s plenty for everyone to find on the 1.3km walking trail through the wetland bushes.

Greenfields Wetlands
A self-guided tour will take about 40 minutes and there are interpretive signs along the way to introduce the wildlife in the area. The avid bird watcher can also get closer in the bird hutches to spy on more exotic species that are tricky to spot. After some time on the wetlands, you can unwind before making tracks at the Watershed Café with a coffee and a bite to eat. We recommend sitting back on the Café deck so you can overlook the lagoon and surrounding landscape.
Kaurna Park Wetlands This wetland is located across from the Springbank Plaza Shopping Centre in Burton. Once degenerated farmland is now a hidden bushland oasis. The 48-hectare space has a variety of gentle water channels and native flora and wildlife that can be explored on a short and easy-level circuit past shallow billabongs and native trees.
Kaurna Park Wetlands
A short 1km walk will take around 15 minutes. It is a mostly wheel-friendly trail meaning it can easily accommodate prams or wheelchairs. If you’re after a bit of a run, you also have the option of the Kaurna Wetlands Loop, which is a 2.85km clay and gravel track around the wetlands that fitter folk can complete in about 20 minutes.
Springbank Boulevard Reserve Wetlands There are two areas in this peaceful nook of Burton, a northern and southern side. On the southern side is a recreational area featuring an undercover playground of ropes, bars and mini rock-climb, whilst an exercise station with a cross trainer, monkey bars, and rings will keep the more fitness inclined busy.
Kaurna Park Wetlands
Unity Park
Together, the northern and southern trail is 3.1kms or a 45-minute stroll, but it can be broken up into a slightly smaller 2.3km (30 minutes) of just the northern side, or an even shorter 1.6kms (20 minutes) around the southern side.
Unity Park Unity Park on South Terrace, Pooraka combines the best bits for everyone: a skate park, BMX facility, playground, walking and bike trails, a dog-friendly park and a beautiful lake and wetlands. There is also a fitness station offering a great place to warm up or work out before taking a walk along the walking and bike trail that encircles the park.
