Project update - landscaping works

Beautification/landscaping works within the Mile End Sports Precinct have been undertaken by the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Several components of the site have been improved, including:

Enhancement of the walking / cycling path through a clean-up of overgrown and dead vegetation along the pathway and pruning trees to shape to maintain clear sight lines across the site.
Beautification of the entry statement to the site from Railway Terrace on both sides of the road.
New native trees being planted along with a range of hardy and drought tolerant shrubs and ground covers that will provide a variety of colour in the landscape throughout the year.
Over 800 plants being planted at the entry to the site with newly irrigated garden bed area and lawn area.
Views to the SA Athletics Stadium and Netball SA Stadiums have been opened up so they can be seen from Railway Terrace.
