City of Salisbury Council’s $36 million transformation of the Happy Home Reserve precinct is complete, with a new $2.9 million Road Safety Park now open to the public.
The Road Safety Park gives children a safe space to practise road rules and develop their cycling skills. It simulates real-world traffic conditions, featuring:
- an asphalt circuit with pedestrian and train crossings;
- active traffic signals;
- road signs;
- line markings.
“The Road Safety Park is a fantastic addition to Happy Home Reserve, strengthening its role as a vibrant recreation hub where families can play, stay active and connect,” said Mayor, Gillian Aldridge OAM.
“This is an investment in both safety and wellbeing for our community, and it’s a place they will enjoy for many years to come.”
The revitalised and expanded recreation hub in Salisbury North also includes new basketball and futsal courts, BBQ and picnic areas, extra shade and lighting upgrades.
An expanded 130-space carpark supports the Aquatic Centre next door during peak times.
The Road Safety Park and carpark developments were co-funded by the Australian Government’s Local Roads & Community Infrastructure Program.
“The City of Salisbury continues to build a vibrant community through inclusive and well thought out infrastructure, I am proud to be part of a government that is supporting this,” said Federal Member for Spence, Matt Burnell.
The Council has invested a total of $36.8 million in recent redevelopment works at the Happy Home Reserve, including $32 million for the Salisbury Aquatic Centre opened in 2024.
