But not everyone can compete in sport at elite levels and community-based recreation is
therefore an important part of the South Australian lifestyle. There are many hundreds of
kilometres of bike and walking trails in all parts of the State. Thousands of people take
part in a range of water activities, including boating, swimming, surfing and fishing.
Community recreation facilities - parks, gardens and amateur sporting areas - are highly
developed and well patronised; and Adelaide's parklands are internationally renowned as a
recreational resource, much loved and protected by the entire population.
This dedication to sport and recreation has created a symbiotic
relationship between sport and recreation on the one hand, and business on the other.
Sport promotes business, and business is involved in sport at all levels from sport
science to facility construction, from equipment manufacture to administration planning
and marketing, from lighting to landscaping, from sports medicine to sports education, and
from recreational tourism to elite athletic training. There is no aspect of sport and
recreation where you will not find a South Australian company directly and actively
involved. This breadth of expertise can be categorised into five key capabilities:
Sports Infrastructure
and Facilities
Sports Medicine
International Training Camps
Event Management
