Development

Polonia Reserve

Following its partial closure for the South Road upgrade, Polonia Reserve has re-opened and a portion of this land has been redeveloped into open space for community use. The Croydon Kings Football Club has relocated to Regency Park Oval.

Polonia Reserve includes an open kick about lawn, play space and storm water detention area. Opportunities also exist for new path and cycling connections through the reserve to better connect residents to South Road and the nearby Janice Jensen Linear Reserve.

The standout playground feature is a huge 7-metre-tall, 12-metre-wide soccer ball playground sculpture, which pays homage to the site’s sporting past. This custom-designed play element, built by local business Iguana Creative, features three levels, two slides, a climbing structure, a lookout platform, tessellated climbing steps, fire poles, an interactive ticket booth and exterior illumination.

There are also an amazing locally-built wheat sheaf sculpture which pays homage to the history of the area and also squirts water out!

"We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we stand, the Kaurna People of the Adelaide Plains. It is upon their ancestral lands that the Port Adelaide Enfield Council meets. It is also the Place of the Kardi, the Emu, whose story travels from the coast inland. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We respect their spiritual beliefs and connections to land which are of continuing importance to the living Kaurna People of today. We further acknowledge the contributions and important role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within our shared community."
