About the project
Stage Two - Grange to Tennyson
Coast Park Stage One delivered a 1.3-kilometre accessible shared-use path between Semaphore Park and West Lakes Shore, giving people of all ages and abilities safer and more convenient access to walk and cycle along the coast.
Stage Two will create a new shared-use path between Grange and Tennyson, with boardwalk and concrete sections designed to suit the coastal environment and further improve access, connectivity, recreation and wellbeing.
What's happening
Construction of Coast Park Stage Two is expected to start in early November 2026. The works will be delivered by Camco on behalf of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.
Early works will include test piling along the project route to confirm suitable construction materials.
After early works, construction will begin at Terminus Street and move north along the Esplanade towards Audrey Street, Grange. Work will pause for Christmas and New Year from Wednesday 23 December 2026. It will restart in early January 2027, at Audrey Street and continue north towards Tennyson.
The path will include boardwalk sections in uneven coastal areas and concrete sections in flatter areas.

Project background
Stage One - Semaphore Park to West Lakes Shore completed
Coast Park Stage One incorporates a 1.3-kilometre shared use path between Third Avenue Semaphore Park and Wara Wayingga-Tennyson Dunes Conservation Reserve.
The shared use path is accessible, approximately 3m wide and constructed of a hard surface (concrete). This provides convenient, safe access for people of all ages and abilities to walk and cycle along the coast.
The Coast Park project is jointly funded by the Department for Trade and Investment via the Planning and Development Fund, as well as the City of Charles Sturt. The Planning and Development Fund provides the means for open space and public realm investment across South Australia, It also allows the Minister for Planning to acquire, manage and develop land for open space including providing grant funding opportunities for local government.
The path was constructed in an environmentally safe manner with consideration of the sensitive nature of the dunes and nearby residents.
An extensive community consultation process was completed and feedback informed the final design.
