For Children

Kids and families have loads to do in Andamooka. There is a huge undercover playground and adjacent skate park nearby to the caravan & camping ground off Opal Creek Blvd., where parents can keep a watch from the undercover BBQ kitchen and picnic spot.

The centrally located Splash Pad at the Community Hall is a winner with kids of all ages during the hotter months and once again supervising parents can relax under the Hall’s extensive shady verandah, enjoy a coffee from the Yacht Club cafe or fire up the community BBQ for a family sausage sizzle.

There are family games set up inside the Hall between 10.00 and 4.00 everyday excepting Monday and outside kids have the chance to chalk draw games such as hop-scotch or creative artworks on the concrete. In the Hall’s shady courtyard area there are kids tables set up and the cafe keeps a range of family board games handy.

Directly across the road are picnic tables set up within the Historic Cottages Reserve and families will enjoy exploring the row of ramshackle cottages built by the first settlers.

A great family treat is joining in a nocturnal walk at Arid Recovery located on the Borefield Road out from Olympic Dam. Book via their website at www.aridrecovery.org.au

With plenty to explore a family can spend a few busy days in and around Andamooka. See the suggested ‘Day by Day Itineraries’ for visitors.

Andamooka School runs a wide range of children’s programs and activities. Ph: 8672 7018
