Hidden amongst the Hamilton Reserve greenery, a mystery is still to unfold for the curious and inquisitive.

The Labyrinth at Hamilton Reserve (on the corner of Mimosa Drive and Stewart Avenue in Vale Park) has a secret code to be cracked!

Etched into pieces of stone and installed along random sections of the nature play space area are secret icons that each reveal a letter. Once each icon has been located, the circle layer surrounding the grass labyrinth will allow the encrypted puzzle to be deciphered.

Tip: remember to take a notepad and pen to decode the mystery message.

This unique feature at Hamilton Reserve was part of an upgrade by Council in 2021/22.

The upgrade included a children’s bike loop, nature play equipment, undercover barbecue areas and extensive landscaping.

Council acknowledges the Government of South Australia for its contribution of $319,825 towards the Hamilton Reserve Rejuvenation Project as part of the 2020/21 Open Space and Places for People Grant Program.
