Little Para River Trail, South Australia

August 2022

Little Para River Trail is a walking and cycling route from Jenkins Reserve to Carisbrooke Park and is widely known as part of the Salisbury City Wide trails. Although the walking trail consists of open spaces, picnic areas and playgrounds, it wasn’t being used to its full potential due to the absence of lighting. Buckford worked closely with the City of Salisbury to supply a dark sky and wildlife-friendly lighting solution that provided wayfinding and amenity to the area.
