Friends of Marino Conservation Park
Marino Conservation Park is on a highpoint where the Mt Lofty ranges curve towards the coast at Marino Rocks. From a distance the most noticeable feature is a lighthouse and from the crest near the lighthouse there are magnificent views over the city, and along Adelaide’s metropolitan beaches.
The Friends of Marino Conservation Park assist the staff of National Parks and Wildlife SA to protect the Park’s remnant coastal heath vegetation, and to return the remainder of the Park to a natural condition, by controlling weeds and replanting appropriate species.

With One Voice Kingston Park Choir
The With One Voice Kingston Park choir was the first WOV Choir established in South Australia. Many choir members are local, coming from the southern beach suburbs but there are also people who travel from the other side of Adelaide to our sessions at the Kauri Community and Sports Centre.
Not too formal, not too casual, it’s the perfect mix of learning and fun. A few choir members have sung in different choirs for many years; others have never sung outside of the shower or their car, and some didn’t even get into their high school musical! But here, all voices are welcome.

Bushcare – Trees for Life
Being a bushcare volunteer is a rewarding, and practical way to help your local environment. As a volunteer you look after SA’s native bushland by removing isolated weeds that compete for space and resources so that our bushland can regenerate naturally. Bush For Life offer ongoing training and support. There are two Bush for Life sites in our neighbourhood – Kingston Park Cliff Face and Marine Parade reserve.
