FUSTAL PARK BLAIR ATHOL
NOW OPEN
In late April we opened the new Futsal Park in Blair Athol.
Thanks to everybody who came out in the rain to take part in
the One Culture Football tournament.
Mayor Gary Johanson and the Hon Kate Ellis, Federal Member
for Adelaide took the first shots at the goals and despite wearing
heels and holding a baby, Ms Ellis was the first person to beat the
keeper to hit the net!
This brand new sports area has transformed the dilapidated
netball courts into three fully lit futsal courts for five sided
community football games.
As well as being available for day to day public use, we will
be teaming up with other organisations to run activities and
outreach programs to ensure that our community gets the
maximum benefit from this new sports facility.
This is just one of a number of key projects we are undertaking
to make it as easy as possible to get people outside and active in
their community.

expected to be completed by mid June 2018. Stage 2 is
anticipated to commence mid July 2018 with an expected
completion date of mid-October 2018.Timing of both stages will
be dependent on weather and other unforeseen circumstances
which may arise.

pedestrian crossings, reshaping and widening of the road, new
