Spring school holidays are just around the corner and Playford is the ultimate destination for fun. We have a wide range of exciting activities planned across Council's sites to keep the boredom at bay.

Mayor Glenn Docherty believes in making Playford the go-to place for school holiday fun.

"Spring school holidays in Playford is where boredom takes a backseat to fun and adventure,” Mayor Docherty said. "From sparking imagination to crafting and learning something new, our activities have it all covered."

"For family fun, don't forget to check out your local library or other Council locations to discover the activities that will light up your kid’s day!"
