Golden Fields Reserve has had an incredible upgrade with the addition of an adventure playground, which joins the existing reserve playground in this 12 hectare reserve (the adventure playground is on the lower level)! This has got to be one of the biggest playground reserves in 91������ý with HEAPS of different play areas, including an accessible area and a brand new section with the coolest slide around! (And around and around and around, if you get our drift!)

Highlighted by a massive tower which has to be seen to be believed, this is THE destination playground out north. Kids can climb up a tower on one side and crawl through the tunnel to the other side then go whizzing down the twisty slide. It seriously feels like you are in there forever!

Here is what you will find on offer…

• Three massive slides
• Climbing wall
• Trampolines
• Flying fox
• The biggest swings we’ve ever seen

Sand and Water play has also been added in a further addition in 2024, right next door to the new playground!

Off Asgard Drive, Golden Grove. Parking available and toilets on both sides of the reserve.

This is definitely a fantastic playground for climbers with plenty of climbing frames, ladders and nets on offer. Kids needing accessible options are also looked after, with ramp equipment and slides that start on the flat level. You’ll also find a Rage Cage, skate park & BMX Track, so this really is a play space for all ages.

If your kids love tractors, open spaces and country-style play, the brand new Harvest Green Park Playground in Roseworthy is one to add to your list! Completed in early 2026, this charming $2.5million playground has been developed for the local community by Land Australia, part of the Hickinbotham Group, and it’s already making a big impression.

The playground features a cute rural and country theme, perfectly suited to its surroundings, with plenty of space for kids to run, climb and explore.

Play highlights include:

• A dual flying fox for double the fun
• Climbing equipment and a play tunnel
• Slippery dips
• A basketball court and kick-about space for active kids
• A super cute tractor playground with slide and more!

There are shelters, seating, and large grassy areas making it easy to stay and play a little longer. The park also includes bike racks, trees and soft plantings, and toilet facilities, making it a comfortable spot for families of all ages.

If you’re looking for a fresh, fun playground near 91������ý with a relaxed country feel, Harvest Green Park Playground is well worth the drive.

Harvest Green Park is the latest in a series of ambitious playgrounds announced by the Hickinbotham Group – SA’s largest builder and developer – with bold play spaces being announced late last year in Port Noarlunga South’s Sunset development and a $2m amenity recently unveiled in Strathalbyn’s Aurora.

Mannum is one of SA’s most beautiful towns, located on the River Murray about an hour or so from the city (Great footy team too…Go the mighty Roos!) and home to most of the gorgeous houseboats you see floating along the Murray. Such a magnificent spot for a day trip or a base for a family holiday on the Murray.

Recently, they have upgraded a fabulous little playground (fully fenced too I might add) right in the heart of town on the banks of the river. Mary Ann Reserve has been transformed into a modern playground suitable for toddlers right up to the 10yo crowd, with the highlight being a houseboat inspired playground with slides, climbing nets and cubby houses. You will also find a range of swings and other small bits and pieces to keep the kids entertained, while you can just sit back and soak in the view……which is just unreal. Kind of hurts typing about it and not being there to be honest.

We highly recommend the Pretoria for a good family feed, but the playground has toilets, bench seats, plenty of grass (outside the fenced area though) and plenty of shade from the huge river gums and a lovely undercover area.

Jack Watkins Reserve has had a multi million dollar upgrade, and has opened this week, in September 2025. Expect to find an incredibly creative TRAIN THEME here, with a lot of inclusive thought across some elements.

This new upgrade is EPIC and it might just be one of 91������ý’s best all round playgrounds for all ages. It’s not only a brilliant play space, but also a fabulous party park, seriously, it has everything.

Here’s what we love:

Facilities galore! With two sets of toilets, multiple water refill stations, BBQs, and more sheltered seating and tables than we’ve ever seen at a park!

It is shady and spacious, with shade sails, gorgeous mature trees, and big open lawns.

The smaller kids will adore the train-themed fun, including train, carriages and ticket booths (perfect for “paying” with bark chip currency, which thank goodness, there is not too much of).

Expect a whopping FOUR slides (two small, one medium and one giant!) There are also inground trampolines, a cute flat merry-go-round, nature play elements (logs, rocks, ropes) and the sweetest little cloud drum to bang away on.

Parents with a bub in tow will love the double swing that accommodates a big person and a little person, and your Nana (or any one less stable on their feet) will love the flat rubber surfacing with even paths, and not too much bark.

There is a full basketball court, netball hoop, handball square, hopscotch, table tennis table (BYO bats & ball), epic pump track, and plenty of exercise equipment.

The location is just off Churchill Road, past the Costco Car park heading North, but our tip, find the back street entrance. Parking is going to be the downfall here. You could always catch the train, as the location is an easy six minute walk from the station. Honestly it’s turning into a bit of an entertainment precinct out this way right? You can find Tada Kids indoor play and also the quirky upside down House Down Under in this same precinct. Feeling hungry? Don’t miss 91������ý’s best hot chips (among other things, and yes they are better than Chicken Chef, fight me) from Kennys at the adjacent Churchill Centre.

Some will be relieved, while others might be disappointed to learn, there is no water play here but on the flip side there is a pump track that’s next level so make sure you throw the bikes or scooters in the car.

Tell Bouncer the dog he’s in luck, because there is a ridiculously good enclosed dog park right next door.

The only thing we think its missing? We are suckers for a big flying fox.

Congratulations City of Port 91������ý Enfield, so many people are going to enjoy gathering, playing and celebrating here, you have really nailed it.

Updated in 2024 this playground is tucked into the corner of the larger Richmond Oval sports precinct. This modern and engaging play space for kids includes a wide slide, huge swings and trampolines. Older kids will also love the fact they can take a ball to kick on the oval, or have a hit of cricket in the cricket nets located in the opposite corner. The trees provide natural shade to most of the playground, as well as a sheltered picnic table and BBQ. We love the fact that there are toilets located at this play space, making it a convenient and family-friendly spot for your next outing.

Playground Features include:

• Sand and Water Play
• Natural Shade
• Swings
• Trampoline
• Climbing nets
• Drinking fountain
• toilets
• BBQ and picnic facilities

Things to consider:

• This playground is not fenced

This wonderful playground upgrade, completed in 2023, includes new adventure-themed play equipment, toilets, picnic and BBQ facilities and park furniture.

The Dunstan Adventure Playground is full of excellent equipment for adventurous kids. A lot of the equipment is aimed at older children though, so your kids will need to feel pretty confident, the slide is beyond huge and kids will need their balance for this play space as there is a lot of climbing opportunities. For the younger kids there’s still the normal climbing equipment, swings and monkey bars.

We love:

• The extra super-sized slide (one million of you will tell us ‘it gets too hot’ and we will answer, ‘go early in the morning’, all playgrounds honestly get hot, although more shade is always appreciated, it would be impossible to shade this epic slide)
• The suspended wobble footbridge
• The flying fox, because they are always a favourite
• Water Play
• Mini trampolines
• Gigantic swings

The playground is in a super location, right on a hill along the Linear Park trail, next to the River Torrens. Of course, this means you will have to be more careful when supervising as there is water close by. The park does offer some shady spots, grassed area, benches and picnic area. It’s also close to the O-Bahn rail for those bus/train obsessed children! Feeding the ducks on the Torrens is also an option (please oats or sultanas, never bread.)

Things to know:

• Slide can get hot on a hot day
• Careful supervision near the river needed
• Toilets are here now
• There is a lot of steep climbing that won’t suit toddlers

Tanunda Recreation Park received an upgrade with an inclusive playground in 2022 and it is fabulous!

Features of the Inclusive Playground include a brilliant double flying fox which includes a seated option which is perfect for the little ones to be included. This was ideal for us as we raced the little kids vs the older kids to determine the family flying fox champion! You will also find in-ground trampolines, climbing/elevated play, slides, swings, sand and water play, barbecue shelter, drink fountain, seating and an all-access toilet block.

This is a fantastic stop is a must as you explore the beautiful Barossa Valley. For more family friendly activities, check out our Barossa feature here.

The $2.9m 2024 development at West Beach Parks is a beautiful open space, tucked in the heart of the West Beach Parks precinct on Hamra Avenue.
Developed right on the West Beach coastline, the plan includes the space being utilised for community events, recreation and play. They have also retained natural vegetation.

Set on the unique coastal precinct of West Beach Parks, it also includes a kiosk (Oceanique Kiosk), shelter, BBQ, shade, toilets and other amenities.

While there is no giant slide centerpiece here, the climbing structure is a huge drawcard taking pride of place in the middle of the play space. There is a smaller slide set on a hill, a great little selection of swings and some inground trampolines that have just the right amount of spring in them and ample opportunity to run, balance and play, just meters from the beach.

Here is what this one has to offer;

• Rope climbing structure
• Small slide
• In-ground trampolines
• Swings (including baby swing and nest swing)

Pack the kids bikes, as the new SAPOL Mock Roadway is right near by.

Designed by Studio Nine Architects, The Square at West Beach Parks re-establishes the site with natural vegetation and connects the local and broader community to the West Beach Parks precinct.

Disability advocate, writer and actor Quentin Kenihan has been memorialised with an inclusive playground in 91������ý’s Rymill Park. The $1m play space includes sensory elements, waterplay and features that encourage shared play and is designed with children and parents with wheelchairs in mind.

This fully fenced playground is thoughtfully designed and a place where children of all abilities can meet, explore and play together. Thanks to its mix of sensory and accessible equipment and welcoming layout, it beautifully embodies Quentin’s vision: a space where no one is left out. Whether kids like water games, sensory discovery, climbing, swinging this plays pace delivers.

It was always a goal of Quentin’s to have an inclusive playspace in 91������ý to cater for all kids and this playground is a testament to his legacy. His family and friends were even consulted in the design process, as well as other disability support groups, to make sure everybody could have fun here.

From toddlers to teenagers, the playground offers a wide range of age-appropriate challenges and free-play options, encouraging active and imaginative play for everyone. Accessibility is at the heart of the space, with wheelchair-friendly equipment, wide ramps, and smooth paths ensuring children with mobility challenges can fully engage in the fun. The play space also promotes shared sensory and interactive experiences, encouraging children of all abilities to play and explore together.

There’s shade over part of the playground as well as lots of big shady trees to get out of the sun if needed. There’s lots of lush green grass to run on, sit on and picnic on plus sheltered seating and BBQ facilities too!
