The Para Hills Community Garden is a place for the community to connect with nature and participate in programs that support health and wellbeing. Located at the rear of the Hub, the garden consists of both above-ground and inground plantings including citrus trees and a bush tucker garden. The community can participate in garden-based programs or just sit and relax amongst nature.

The Para Hills Community Garden is supported by the Australian Statewide Wellbeing Strategy, led by Wellbeing SA.

Located in the garden area is an Aboriginal Mural featuring local Senior Elder Frank Wanganeen and his grandson Joseph. The artwork was created by artists Elizabeth Close and Thomas Readett as part of the City of Salisbury’s World of Welbeing project to promote resilience, positive health and wellbeing post COVID-19.
