There’s free computer access, Wi-Fi, study room hire and much more. Call Burton Community Hub on 8487 1820 to find out what’s available.
Councillor Johnny Chewparsad
As the winter season is upon us, I am excited to invite you to join us for a variety of fun indoor activities at the Salisbury East Neighbourhood Centre. There are sessions to suit a range of interests, including creative workshops, morning teas, and much more. Carisbrooke Park is also a great place to meet for group exercise. There is something for everyone this winter in the East Ward.
Councillor Moni Mazzeo
Escape the winter chill with a stroll or jog along Cobbler Creek Trail. You can discover serene landscapes, native plants, vibrant birdlife and finish up at Main North Road for a lunch at Saints Kitchen. It’s the perfect way to stay warm and connected with nature this season.
Councillor Peter Jensen JP
Despite the chilly mornings, I always try to find the time to take my two dogs to the small dog park at the Paddocks or warm up with a pie at the Para Hills Bakery.
Council have also recently opened our brand-new Aquatic Centre, with heated indoor pool facilities.
Councillor Shiralee Reardon JP
I wish everyone in the Hills Ward a very cosy winter. Be sure to layer up, take care of yourself, and don’t forget the Para Hills Community Hub is a fantastic place to participate in a range of activities, or to spend a few hours reading a book in the library.
We're fortunate in the North Ward to have the brand-new Salisbury Aquatic Centre. Its heated indoor pools are ideal for this season, offering a fantastic leisure activity and great relief for muscles and joints. Don't forget to drop by the café for a warm coffee and chat with the friendly staff about all the fantastic amenities available.
Councillor Kylie Grenfell
I love watching the frost roll in over the Lavender Drive Oval – Salisbury Villa Soccer Club whilst on my early morning walks during winter. You’ll also find me enjoying a nice meal and a drink at the Salisbury Downs Sports and Community Club. Sometimes you’ll even find me helping out in the kitchen making those meals too!
Councillor Sarah Ouk
Community Centres offer a great way to stay connected with others, especially when bad weather keeps us indoors. If you're in Para Ward and looking for indoor activities, why not check out Morella Community Centre? There's always something interesting going on, like free adult education classes and a wide range of activities to enjoy.
Councillor Lauren Brug
Along the edge of Walkley Heights lies the Dry Creek Linear Park trail, a serene nature corridor linking Walkley's Road to Bridge Road. Maintained diligently by the Friends of Dry Creek Trail, it is equally striking with every seasonal change. If you're game enough to venture outside, I encourage you to see its winter beauty.
Councillor Alan Graham
Following and supporting local community and sporting groups is a great way to keep busy and build strong community relationships with other like-minded people during the cooler months.
With a warmer and drier than usual start to winter, enjoying South Ward's open spaces for walking the family pets and getting your daily exercise in is another great way to enjoy our local community.
Councillor Beau Brug JP
The West Ward is full of great places to keep warm this winter. There are plenty of local restaurants and cafes around with delicious winter menus. If you like to exercise outdoors, check out the many lakes, or the boardwalk at Greenfields Wetlands and follow it up with a nice lunch or coffee.
Councillor Sharon McKell
If you enjoy walking and being connected to the community, come join the Mawson Lakes Striders walking group and keep warm during the winter months. They meet every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 8:30 am at the Mawson Lakes Interchange on the first platform to the left. They grab a coffee after their hour walk at one of the many cafes in Mawson Lakes. A great group to join any day that works for you.
