NEWS
New department, same business.  With the recent appointment of the Hon Jay Weatherill as the SA Premier, several government departments and functions have been realigned.  The Office for Recreation and Sport will now be part of a new-look Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. This ensures a strong emphasis will remain on more and improved sport and recreation facilities and open space participation opportunities.

The 2011-12 A-League season has commenced.  Come along to one of the matches at Hindmarsh Stadium and support the Reds!
