Lions at Discover, Play, Pathway Fringe Event
Lions members cooked up a BBQ sausage sizzle recently at the Adelaide Hills Council organised Fringe Event: Discover, Play, Pathway at Woody Trails at Woodside.

Providing and maintaining community facilities
Over the years, the Lions Club of Onkaparinga have provided a number of facilities across the district for use by community members and visitors to our beautiful Adelaide Hills.
These include the Lions Information Bay at Woodside and the BBQ Shelters at the Woodside Play Ground and Brockhoff Park at Balhannah.
Maintaining these facilities is a responsibility that we undertake regularly.
Recently, Club members have been working on giving the BBQ Shelter at Balhannah a facelift.
Please enjoy these facilities and let us know if you notice anything that requires our attention.
