You may have noticed a new face has appeared in the park. At first glance, he might seem a little out of place amongst the sculptures, gardens, and heritage features. But as this is a heritage park, we aim to honour as much of the history of our little corner of the world as we can, and that history stretches back far beyond people. The Megalodon, one of the largest predators ever to have lived, no longer roams our oceans. Yet millions of years ago, these giant sharks swam th

On 1 June 2026, Loxton Heritage Park reached an important milestone as we welcomed the Wolraad Woltemade statue to its new home and officially unveiled it alongside Executive Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and members of the wider community.

As we begin the process of restoring and caring for the park, it feels important to acknowledge the history of the area, while also looking ahead to what this space can become.

The park has recently been adopted with a clear and heartfelt purpose: to care for, restore, and celebrate this special space so that it can be enjoyed by the wider community for years to come. This isn’t about a quick fix or a single project. It’s about a journey, one step at a time, towards a park that reflects pride, history, and shared responsibility. Over the co
