Semaphore Foreshore is set for an exciting transformation, with plans underway for a world-class redevelopment that will enhance one of 91¹û¶³´«Ã½’s favourite beachside destinations while preserving the heritage charm locals know and love.

The revitalised foreshore will continue to celebrate its iconic attractions, including the historic monument, the much-loved carousel, the jetty, train hub, expansive grassy picnic areas and the vibrant calendar of community events that have made Semaphore a family favourite for generations.

But it’s the new family-focused features that have us most excited.

Plans include a brand-new destination playground designed to encourage climbing, exploring and imaginative play, alongside an interactive water play area perfect for cooling off on warm summer days. A new multi-use court will provide space for a variety of ball sports and active play, while a modern skate park will give older kids and teens a dedicated place to ride, practise tricks and hang out with friends.

Accessibility is at the heart of the redevelopment, with improved pathways, upgraded amenities and inclusive spaces designed so people of all ages and abilities can enjoy everything the foreshore has to offer. Whether you’re visiting with a pram, wheelchair, scooter or bike, the new layout aims to make exploring the foreshore easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

The redevelopment is all about creating a destination where families can spend an entire day. Picture the kids climbing through an incredible new playground, splashing in the water play, shooting hoops or kicking a ball on the multi-court, older siblings mastering new tricks at the skate park, then everyone meeting for fish and chips on the lawns before a stroll along the jetty or a ride on the historic carousel.

Semaphore has always been one of 91¹û¶³´«Ã½’s most loved family beach destinations, and this redevelopment promises to make it even better—blending exciting new attractions with the timeless seaside charm that keeps families coming back year after year.

Works are due to commence February 2027 and will include

• A newly upgraded playground which will feature a bespoke play tower
• A brand new water play area
• A new plaza-type skatepark
• Multi-sports court to accommodate 3×3 basketball, netball, pickleball and 4-square
• 5 new sheltered seating areas
• An upgraded picnic shelter with new furniture and BBQ stove
• A new beach access ramp
• A new kiosk building with seating
• New toilets, including a disability change room
• beach wheelchair hiring facilities

The eagle has landed at Morialta Playground… in a 7 metre tall nest – and your kids can climb it! Yep, the Morialta Conservation Park playground is AWESOME! Best suited to kids aged 5-15years, it is great to see a play area perfect for older families. With over 100 car parks and walking trails to guide you, it makes a visit to the park even easier to navigate for families.

The stunningly designed, HUGE and super fun playground has been designed with a Nature Play theme, with elements from Aboriginal culture. This super impressive nature playground features five themed play areas that are built across the Stradbroke Road picnic area. Come ready to explore Frog Island, Eagle’s Perch, Great Snake, Bird Nests and climbing boulders, as well as paths, creeks, rock walls and climbing trees.

Please be aware that the Morialta Playground isn’t fenced, has a nearby creek and road and has plenty of areas where you’ll have to keep a hand &/or close eye on kids with high falls possible etc which makes it less suitable for younger kids but awesome fun for older ones!

Things we love about Morialta Playground:

• The whole playground is all about nature – incorporating natural elements and materials all around,
• The massive snake structure that kids can play in & on (if they are big and brave enough!),
• The GIANT Birds Nests with rope ladders, walkways, and log frames – and a giant metal slide from the biggest one!
• The HUGE expanse – this play area is actually 4 distinct spaces located next to each other in the Morialta Conservation Park,
• The featured wood carving works by local Kaurna Indigenous sculptor Allan Sumner,
• The creek – our kids LOVE to ‘search for creatures’ in the creek – so many hours spent here!,
• The short walk to the Morialta First Falls waterfall – you can even take the pram there and our 2 year old can handle the walk,
• The climb to the Giants Cave – only about 50 steps up and a great view down the valley.
• Koala spotting – we have never visited without spotting at least 1 or 2 koalas!

There are BBQs, toilets, shaded table and bench seats all around the area and solid under cover areas.

** please note that there is unrestricted/unfenced access to the creek that often flows and runs close by the playground area. It is also unfenced to Stradbroke Rd, which is about 50-80m from the Playspace.

While it might be the smaller of Riverlea’s two playgrounds, Milner Place Reserve proves that good things really do come in small packages. Perfect for a quick play stop or an afternoon burn-off, this neighbourhood playground ticks all the essential boxes without feeling overcrowded.

The play space features a great mix of equipment for younger and primary school-aged kids, including swings, slides, climbing and balancing elements that encourage active play and help build confidence. The layout is open and easy to supervise, making it a great option for families with children of different ages.

One of the standout additions is the half basketball court, giving older kids (and competitive parents!) another reason to stick around after they’ve finished exploring the playground.

Surrounded by open green space, it’s also an ideal spot to kick a ball, enjoy a picnic rug or simply soak up the fresh air in one of 91¹û¶³´«Ã½’s newest communities.

Features you’ll find:

• Swings
• Slides
• Balancing and climbing equipment
• Basketball half court
• Open grassed areas
• Seating for parents
• Easy street parking
• Great for toddlers through to primary school-aged children

If you’re exploring Riverlea with the kids, Milner Place Reserve makes a great stop before or after visiting the larger Kapinka Reserve, offering a quieter play experience while still keeping little adventurers entertained.

Byethorne Park is a beautiful 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ Hills playground located on Woodside Road in Nairne AND it’s had a great little upgrade in 2021 that includes a nature play area and a beautiful great big grassy kick around area, plus there are plans for more upgrades due for completion is late 2026. These include;

• Flying fox (track slider)
• Spinner
• Swing
• Giant treehouse system with slide
• Hammock
• Double embankment slide

The new equipment will be relocated closer to the newer playground and nature play area withthe existing area along the boundary fence will be returned to a natural passive space.

The nature play elements blend beautifully with the existing equipment that includes a climbing spiders web, flying fox, drums, bouncers and lots of interesting play equipment for the kids to discover.

The park features a lovely duck filled lake in the centre. Make sure you know the . The playground is really well maintained and has a covered BBQ area that is close by, so the kids can play while you cook.

It’s a beautiful spot for a BBQ, picnic or just a new spot to take the kids for a good run around in the park. Fab wide open spaces and lots of fresh air, which the hills is so good for! Well worth the drive.

It’s also a popular spot for Rock Drops so keep your eyes peeled!

Stop in at Pallett Cafe, It’s only a couple of minutes from the park.

This playground is a little gem upgraded in mid 2026. It has a bbq area and grassed area for lounging around or a small picnic, there’s also some shelter and benches. The upgrade retained the popular train play equipment (but did give it a little glow up) and the equipment installed caters for toddlers up to the upper primary kids. Perfect!
There are shops and cafe’s nearby and TOILETS!

The kids will love this park as it’s right next to the Croydon Train Station and the kids can view the train coming and going frequently- right up close!
Don’t worry- the playground is fully fenced!

It has a separate toddler park and a park for older children connected by a gate. There’s also basketball rings if you’re keen to get your kids into the 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ 36ers team!

Things to know:

– parking on the street, not always a lot of parking available close by

– the basketball ring was missing so only the backboard remained when I visited last week (but at least that means you can’t miss a shot!)

My favourite local: The Queen Street Cafe of course! But there’s loads of other places to visit too. A great street in a quaint suburb, Queen Street also has some funky little retail spots to explore.

We have them all below, but here are some of our Top Themed Playgrounds;

• Thorndon Reserve (Birds)
• Largs Foreshore (Ice Cream)
• Stanley Street Reserve (Bees)
• Jubilee Playground Port Noarlunga (Pirates)
• Kapunda Playground (Trains)
• Morialta Adventure Playground (Nature)

Sturt Reserve, Murray Bridge

Home to the world (well….SA at least) famous Bunyip, this attraction at Sturt River Reserve has scared kids for generations and delighted parents equally as much. The Bunyip is currently in really good condition and is primed to scare the shite out of anyone under the age of 10 and quite a few older than that. An all round ripper of a playground which is fully fenced, fully shaded and absolutely enormous. Don’t forget the pump tracks, rage cages (its a sport thing…not where you leave angry kids) and a fantastic skate park.

Boat Playgrounds

St Kilda Adventure Playground

* Pirate Ship is currently closed due to maintenance*

One of 91¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s playground icons, the adventure playground is also home to the famous pirate ship which 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ kids have enjoyed for what seems like forever. Every kid has at some point, stood on that ship and looked out to sea and imagined they were sailing the seven seas looking for treasure. The playground itself is probably 91¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s biggest and maybe most famous. A bit of a trek out north but totally worth it and a rite of passage (along with schoolies and doing something stupid to end up on Sh*t91¹û¶³´«Ã½) for all South Aussies.

Mary Ann Reserve Playground, Mannum

Located on the beautiful riverbanks of Mannum lies this fully fenced playground. Not only does this playground have a boat for your little ones to play on, you are right at the heart of the river bank where house boats dock and boats are at full force during the summer months. Our little ones even loved watching the ferry cross the river while they were playing. With toilets close by and a shade sail, this is the perfect playground to add to your road trip list.

AA Bailey Reserve, Clarence Gardens

We love this huge plagryound at Clarence Gardens, which has so much to offer kids of all ages, least of all the pirate loving tikes who will gain their sea legs on the really cool pirate ship. The pirate ship here may be a bit smaller, but the playground is an absolute fave. It is basically 2 big playgrounds in one, with nature play, toddler age equipment plus climbing equipment that caters to the older kids

Jubilee Adventure Playground, Port Noarlunga

One of the biggest and best playgrounds in the deep south, the ‘wooden’ playground at Porties includes a huge wooden fort inspired throughout with boating themes, to give you the impression of being on a massive wooden boat. The kids will love running around and being fully fenced (the fort part….the other nature section isn’t sadly) you can let the kids run around knowing they (probably) can’t get out.

Moana Seaside Park

A brand new addition to the pirate playground landscape, opening in June 2020 is this ripper of a playground way down south at Moana!

A very popular new addition for the locals, we loved our recent visit!

All the pics and info here

Tolley Reserve Playground, Nuriootpa

Tolley Reserve, or Nuriootpa Train Playground is a large open space for kids of all ages and abilities. It makes the perfect stop on a day out at the Barossa Valley so that the kids can play and run off some energy! The full size old train has been there for years and is an icon in the area.

Victoria Square, Kadina

One of our fave regional playgrounds, this place is massive and suits all ages.

Train fans this one is for you! That might even equally apply to the train enthusiast parents as well, because this one is a beauty! A fully fenced, humungous playspace in the heart of Tailem Bend, this one not only caters to train fans but includes a great range of play equipment for all ages.

Mitcham Reserve

This has always been a rather spectacular spot due to the beautiful scenery, nearby creeks (and awesome coffee shops around Mitcham), but after a massive redevelopment in about 2018, it is even more special now. Constructed using beautiful wooden materials of different shapes and sizes, the kids will feel like they have been transported to some sort of medieval kingdom with the highlight being the huge tower and tube slide (we know, not many tube slides in ye olde times but a bit of poetic licence here). This is the perfect playground picnic spot too, with so much grass and shade from the trees.

Just love this one and you can find out more here!

With fantastic wood and stone pieces to climb on, plus every parents favourite playground feature….sand and water play, the little ones will have a blast. So much more to do that hasn’t been listed here.

read more on our review here

Belair Adventure Playground

This is THE quintessential nature playground in 91¹û¶³´«Ã½. Located in Belair National Park (so obviously a bucketload of nature everywhere you look), it is a bit more dated compared to the others listed but some things get better with age…..not saying this has gotten better with age unfortunately (it hasn’t really changed since I first went 30 odd years ago), but it is still a sensational spot. Apart from the playground you get to experience all that the national park has to offer, which is always a perfect family day out (or weekend if you want to camp). The playground has all the classic features you remember from school excursions in the 80s, the huge wooden fort, the cement tunnel network to hide in….bliss. For some reason this playground always reminds me of giant arrowroot bush biscuits, which I think was the school snack of choice for excursions a long, long time ago.

Anyway, more info and pics here!

Located within Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta, this multi-million dollar nature playground has quickly become a favourite for 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ families, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. Opened in 2022, this incredible play space combines adventure, imagination, inclusive design and nature play in one huge family-friendly destination.

What we love most about Glenthorne Nature Play Space is that it truly caters for all ages. While younger kids will adore the swings, sand play and cubby-building opportunities, older kids are absolutely going to love the giant climbing structures, flying foxes and enormous tube slide tower. It’s the kind of playground where you can easily spend hours exploring.

The thoughtfully designed nature play space was created by 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ playground specialists Climbing Tree Creations, alongside TCL and Phillips Pilkington Architects, with a strong focus on open-ended adventure play, accessibility and connection with the natural environment.

Throughout the playground you’ll find salvaged timber, rocks, natural creek beds and climbing elements that encourage kids to explore, create and move freely through the space. The towering slide structures were inspired by the hollow red gums found along South Australian river systems, giving the playground a uniquely local feel.

Families will love the wide pram-friendly paths, accessible play features, shaded seating areas, toilets and BBQ facilities, making it an easy spot to settle in for a full morning or afternoon outdoors.

Some of the standout features include:
• Huge tube slide tower
• Flying foxes
• Multiple swings
• Inclusive in-ground roundabout
• Sand and water-style nature play
• Freestyle cubby and teepee building
• Climbing logs and adventure play elements
• Shaded picnic areas and BBQs
• Accessible pathways throughout

We also love that the playground feels inclusive for a wide range of ages and abilities. It’s not often you find a playground that genuinely keeps both toddlers and older kids entertained, but Glenthorne absolutely delivers.

If you’re looking for an 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ playground worth the drive, this one should be high on your list. Pack a picnic, bring a change of clothes for the sand play, and prepare to stay longer than expected.
