UDIA (SA) Award for Environmental Excellence We’re proud that Aston Hills was recognised with the prestigious UDIA (SA) Award for Environmental Excellence for our Central Reserve and Lakes Precinct in 2021. Lanser Director Shaun Bowden shares, “Good design is fundamental to everything we do, ensuring that we leave behind a lasting legacy for South Australia and our residents. We are proud to have incorporated these lakes with sustainable water management solutions into the Aston Hills community.” The precinct features a dual wetland system that improves water quality with litter traps, inlet ponds, and vegetated macrophyte zones. The system provides flood protection during storms and stores water during low flows. This recognition highlights our dedication to sustainability and the long-term health of the Aston Hills ecosystem. - [ Get directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/WwfUh2qRkQQnGkHi8) > Aston Hills has some wonderful huge parks and gardens that are well designed, and many wonderful trees - both gums and deciduous. And as we are going into winter the liquid ambers are changing colour intro a glorious red. This would be a wonderful place to start a new life for a young family, or retirees who want to smell the roses and to chill out. It's just so peaceful.

Not only is it a key part of our expansive open space network, connecting homes via walking trails to the Summit Sports Park, Laratinga Wetlands, and Mount Barker’s town centre, but it’s also home to Australia’s first Ka’Yop Tree playground! The playground features a [**Ka’Yop Dynamic Tree**](https://www.proludic.com.au/reference/sa-the-range-reserve-aston-hills-playground/), designed to engage older children with a variety of physically challenging activities. Alongside it, the playspace also includes a colour-matching Kanopé Swingset, a Falling Star group Springer, and an Inclusive Embankment Slide, ensuring enjoyment for younger children as well. As part of our commitment to sustainability, the choice of the Ka’Yop Tree has led to the planting of 25 native trees in Australia. Each Ka’Yop tree installation also contributes to Carbon Positive Australia, supporting tree planting and native vegetation projects to combat climate change and restore biodiversity. Range Reserve is a place where nature, play, and environmental responsibility come together, creating an active, inclusive space for all to enjoy. - [ Get directions External ](https://g.co/kgs/7Y9keFC) ### Maplewood Wetlands [ ![IMG 6842](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL0FzdG9uLUhpbGxzLVNob3BwaW5nLUNlbnRyZS9IYWxsb3dlZW4vSGFsbG93ZWVuLTIwMjUvSU1HXzY4NDIuSlBHIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7ImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) The Maplewood Wetlands is one of Aston Hills’ little hidden gems — a peaceful, leafy pocket tucked just behind the Aston Hills Mountain Bike Park. This charming space is home to resident ducks, stepping-stone bridges and plenty of spots for kids to explore and imagine. Designed with outdoor adventure in mind, it’s the kind of place where families slow down, wander together and discover something new each time they visit. - [ Get Directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TBbtwHMq2nbc2C4Q6) ### The Pinnacle Playground [ ![Aston Hills -

With breathtaking views of Mount Barker Summit, it’s also home to what locals fondly call the “Seat With a View”—a popular gathering spot, especially for watching New Year’s Eve fireworks. Conveniently positioned near an entrance to the Mountain Bike Park, the playground features slides, swings, climbing equipment, and shaded seating, making it a perfect destination for families to relax and play. - [ Get Directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/E9UAvVDnh6LbaUG48) ### Laratinga Wetlands [ ![Two women walking a dog on a shared use path in soft sunlight.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL2FzdG9uLWhpbGxzL0FTVE9OX0hJTExTLTIuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7InBvc2l0aW9uIjoibGVmdCIsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) - [ ![A mum exploring the wetlands with her children.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL2FzdG9uLWhpbGxzL010LUIwMzMuSlBHIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7ImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) - [ ![Two women pictured walking from behind with a dog down a pathway surrounded by nature.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL0ludGVyYWN0aXZlLU1hc3RlcnBsYW4tTWFwLUltYWdlcy9hbWVuaXRpZXMvQVNUT05fSElMTFMtNy5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsiZml0IjoiY292ZXIifSwid2l0aE1ldGFkYXRhIjp0cnVlLCJ0b0Zvcm1hdCI6ImpwZWciLCJqcGVnIjp7InF1YWxpdHkiOjgwLCJwcm9ncmVzc2l2ZSI6dHJ1ZSwib3B0aW1pc2VDb2RpbmciOnRydWUsInRyZWxsaXNRdWFudGlzYXRpb24iOnRydWUsIm92ZXJzaG9vdERlcmluZ2luZyI6dHJ1ZX19fQ==) - [ ![A close up photo of a woman walking her dog - focussing on her sneakers.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL2FzdG9uLWhpbGxzL0FTVE9OX0hJTExTLTYuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7ImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) Although the Laratinga Wetlands aren't part of our Aston Hills’ masterplan, this local gem is linked to Aston Hills by a 1.7km shared-use trail. It’s the perfect spot for meeting friends, walking the dog, or enjoying a peaceful run. Children love birdwatching here, with a chance to spot native wildlife in their natural habitat. Named after the Peramangk term for Mount Barker Creek, “Flooding Land Creek” (Lartingga-parri), the wetlands were created in 1999 by the Mount Barker District Council to filter and reuse treated water, supporting local irrigation and parklands. Over the years, thoughtful landscaping with indigenous plants has transformed this space into a thriving ecosystem, attracting migrating birds and even the iconic Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo. Whether you’re seeking tranquillity or adventure, Laratinga Wetlands is a cherished retreat just a short walk or ride from Aston Hills. - [ Get directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RyZbdPf2uRPsKdJAA) ### Register to receive more information # Parks and Playgrounds ![Looking out over a lake showing lawn and water.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) On this page - [ Central Lakes Precinct ](#central-lakes-precinct) - [ The Range Reserve ](#the-range-reserve) - [ Maplewood Wetlands ](#maplewood-wetlands) - [ The Pinnacle Playground ](#the-pinnacle-playground) - [ Laratinga Wetlands ](#laratinga-wetlands) The team behind Aston Hills are passionate about creating beautiful outdoor spaces that invite exploration and connection with nature.

UDIA (SA) Award for Environmental Excellence We’re proud that Aston Hills was recognised with the prestigious UDIA (SA) Award for Environmental Excellence for our Central Reserve and Lakes Precinct in 2021. Lanser Director Shaun Bowden shares, “Good design is fundamental to everything we do, ensuring that we leave behind a lasting legacy for South Australia and our residents. We are proud to have incorporated these lakes with sustainable water management solutions into the Aston Hills community.” The precinct features a dual wetland system that improves water quality with litter traps, inlet ponds, and vegetated macrophyte zones. The system provides flood protection during storms and stores water during low flows. This recognition highlights our dedication to sustainability and the long-term health of the Aston Hills ecosystem. - [ Get directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/WwfUh2qRkQQnGkHi8) > Aston Hills has some wonderful huge parks and gardens that are well designed, and many wonderful trees - both gums and deciduous. And as we are going into winter the liquid ambers are changing colour intro a glorious red. This would be a wonderful place to start a new life for a young family, or retirees who want to smell the roses and to chill out. It's just so peaceful.

Not only is it a key part of our expansive open space network, connecting homes via walking trails to the Summit Sports Park, Laratinga Wetlands, and Mount Barker’s town centre, but it’s also home to Australia’s first Ka’Yop Tree playground! The playground features a [**Ka’Yop Dynamic Tree**](https://www.proludic.com.au/reference/sa-the-range-reserve-aston-hills-playground/), designed to engage older children with a variety of physically challenging activities. Alongside it, the playspace also includes a colour-matching Kanopé Swingset, a Falling Star group Springer, and an Inclusive Embankment Slide, ensuring enjoyment for younger children as well. As part of our commitment to sustainability, the choice of the Ka’Yop Tree has led to the planting of 25 native trees in Australia. Each Ka’Yop tree installation also contributes to Carbon Positive Australia, supporting tree planting and native vegetation projects to combat climate change and restore biodiversity. Range Reserve is a place where nature, play, and environmental responsibility come together, creating an active, inclusive space for all to enjoy. - [ Get directions External ](https://g.co/kgs/7Y9keFC) ### Maplewood Wetlands [ ![IMG 6842](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL0FzdG9uLUhpbGxzLVNob3BwaW5nLUNlbnRyZS9IYWxsb3dlZW4vSGFsbG93ZWVuLTIwMjUvSU1HXzY4NDIuSlBHIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7ImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) The Maplewood Wetlands is one of Aston Hills’ little hidden gems — a peaceful, leafy pocket tucked just behind the Aston Hills Mountain Bike Park. This charming space is home to resident ducks, stepping-stone bridges and plenty of spots for kids to explore and imagine. Designed with outdoor adventure in mind, it’s the kind of place where families slow down, wander together and discover something new each time they visit. - [ Get Directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TBbtwHMq2nbc2C4Q6) ### The Pinnacle Playground [ ![Aston Hills -

With breathtaking views of Mount Barker Summit, it’s also home to what locals fondly call the “Seat With a View”—a popular gathering spot, especially for watching New Year’s Eve fireworks. Conveniently positioned near an entrance to the Mountain Bike Park, the playground features slides, swings, climbing equipment, and shaded seating, making it a perfect destination for families to relax and play. - [ Get Directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/E9UAvVDnh6LbaUG48) ### Laratinga Wetlands [ ![Two women walking a dog on a shared use path in soft sunlight.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL2FzdG9uLWhpbGxzL0FTVE9OX0hJTExTLTIuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7InBvc2l0aW9uIjoibGVmdCIsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) - [ ![A mum exploring the wetlands with her children.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL2FzdG9uLWhpbGxzL010LUIwMzMuSlBHIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7ImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) - [ ![Two women pictured walking from behind with a dog down a pathway surrounded by nature.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL0ludGVyYWN0aXZlLU1hc3RlcnBsYW4tTWFwLUltYWdlcy9hbWVuaXRpZXMvQVNUT05fSElMTFMtNy5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsiZml0IjoiY292ZXIifSwid2l0aE1ldGFkYXRhIjp0cnVlLCJ0b0Zvcm1hdCI6ImpwZWciLCJqcGVnIjp7InF1YWxpdHkiOjgwLCJwcm9ncmVzc2l2ZSI6dHJ1ZSwib3B0aW1pc2VDb2RpbmciOnRydWUsInRyZWxsaXNRdWFudGlzYXRpb24iOnRydWUsIm92ZXJzaG9vdERlcmluZ2luZyI6dHJ1ZX19fQ==) - [ ![A close up photo of a woman walking her dog - focussing on her sneakers.](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271079.8650168729%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ](https://d2tpafjlg316w2.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJsYW5zZXItcHJvZC1pbWFnZXMiLCJrZXkiOiJhc3NldHMvaW1hZ2VzL2FzdG9uLWhpbGxzL0FTVE9OX0hJTExTLTYuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7ImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sIndpdGhNZXRhZGF0YSI6dHJ1ZSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MCwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXNlQ29kaW5nIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWV9fX0=) Although the Laratinga Wetlands aren't part of our Aston Hills’ masterplan, this local gem is linked to Aston Hills by a 1.7km shared-use trail. It’s the perfect spot for meeting friends, walking the dog, or enjoying a peaceful run. Children love birdwatching here, with a chance to spot native wildlife in their natural habitat. Named after the Peramangk term for Mount Barker Creek, “Flooding Land Creek” (Lartingga-parri), the wetlands were created in 1999 by the Mount Barker District Council to filter and reuse treated water, supporting local irrigation and parklands. Over the years, thoughtful landscaping with indigenous plants has transformed this space into a thriving ecosystem, attracting migrating birds and even the iconic Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo. Whether you’re seeking tranquillity or adventure, Laratinga Wetlands is a cherished retreat just a short walk or ride from Aston Hills. - [ Get directions External ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RyZbdPf2uRPsKdJAA) ### Register to receive more information
