Mikawomma Reserve

The landscape design and the artworks in Mikawomma Reserve reflect indigenous plants and animals as well as culture and history.

The reserve has a gently sloping basin and in times of heavy rain it temporarily holds stormwater from the local area.

Some of the artworks are hidden and need to be discovered, like the animals carved into boulders, and stepping stones with Kaurna numbers.

[citation needed] The development of Mikawomma Reserve was funded by the Government of South Australia through Arts SA in partnership with the Westwood Urban Renewal Project, a joint project by Urban Pacific Limited and the South Australian Housing Trust in conjunction with the City of Port Adelaide Enfield.

The project was designed by landscape architect Warwick Keates of Hassell in collaboration with Adrian Potter and Bridgette Minuzzo with the support of the local community.
