Summit Precinct

Just across the road from Aston Hills lies The Summit Precinct, an exciting destination poised to become one of Australia’s leading regional hubs for sport, recreation, leisure, and entertainment. Spanning approximately 50 hectares at the corner of Bald Hills and Springs Roads, this precinct is already home to the Summit Sport and Recreation Park and will soon welcome the state-of-the-art Summit Aquatic and Leisure Centre. With plans for a Regional Adventure Playground, walking trails, and the rehabilitation of Mount Barker Creek, the area offers endless opportunities for outdoor exploration and community connection.

The Summit Sport and Recreation Park (SSRP), located just across the road from Aston Hills, is a premier facility offering easy access to world-class amenities close to home. It features two synthetic soccer pitches and a premier Australian Rules and cricket oval, complete with modern clubrooms, practice nets, and facilities. Designed for both local and large-scale events, SSRP hosts cultural festivals, music performances, outdoor expos, and vibrant markets. Surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, it’s the perfect place for community gatherings and memorable experiences in a convenient, picturesque setting.

The Summit Aquatic and Leisure Centre (SALC), located just across the road from Aston Hills, is a year-round hub for health, fitness, and community connection. This state-of-the-art facility is linked to Aston Hills via a shared use path, and features a 25m competition pool, a learn-to-swim pool, water play areas, a warm water therapy pool, gym and fitness rooms, and a crèche. 

The Summit Precinct in Mount Barker is a visionary 50-hectare hub designed to elevate recreation, leisure, and entertainment in South Australia’s fastest-growing region. Located at the corner of Bald Hills and Springs Roads, it combines state-of-the-art facilities like the Summit Sport and Recreation Park and the soon-to-be-completed Regional Aquatic and Leisure Centre with natural attractions including the Laratinga walking trail and heritage barns. 

Future plans include a Regional Adventure Playground and the rehabilitation of Mount Barker Creek, enhancing biodiversity and walking opportunities. With potential for tourism accommodation, events, and outdoor activities, the precinct is set to become a dynamic destination for locals and visitors alike.
