The area was previously serviced by Ethelton Primary School, but the campus was closed when the school amalgamated with Semaphore Primary School (to form Westport Primary). The local high school is Le Fevre High School, in nearby Semaphore South. There is a private school in the suburb, Portside Christian School (Reception to Year 12).

The John Hart Reserve and Oval at the north-western corner is the main recreational facility in the suburb.[5][6] There is little commercial activity in the area, as Port Adelaide is nearby.
