Find it at: Main St, Woodside If you're looking for a nice playground for school aged kids in the Adelaide Hills, with full facilities then this might be it! Woodside Playground is located right on the Main Street next to the Woodside Oval and sports complex. It has all the usual playground equipment - slides, a small 'flying fox', climbing frames and swings all within a fully fenced play area. In addition, it's right next to the skate ramp, toilet block and large enclosed area with BBQ facilities and covered seating, with plenty of car parking. Best for 5-12 year olds. Our favourite local cafe is The Olive Branch Cafe in Balhannah and for another destination in the area check out Melbas Chocolate Factory just on the other side of Woodside.

Find it at: Hartley Road Flinders Park A nice little playground with enough equipment choice to keep the kids busy for a few minutes at least! It could do with a few extra features as it has no fence, no shade (apart from some nearby trees), no water fountains, no seating and no BBQ. The toilet is only at the nearby footy club, so if that is closed then you are out of luck too. But it does have a cool little wooden boat, a huge nest swing and a heap of regular swings (including one for the toddlers). A good spot for the locals and with the nearby oval, plenty of space for everyone to run around (sadly due to the lack of seating parents will also have to run around as well. Soz.) Hartley Road is fairly busy so keep a watchful eye on the kids at this one.

Find it at: Newman Road, Charleston Adelaide Hills Council have put the finishing touches on this fabulous new playspace at gorgeous Charleston. Coming in at about $180 grand, this has plenty to offer all of your kids as they stop off to stretch the legs during your Sunday road trip. We love the 3 on 3 basketball court (plus adjacent tennis courts if that takes your fancy) as well as the little scooter track that travels around the playground. Lots of climbing equipment here too for the slightly older kids, with a tower and slide (plus cargo climbing net). Throw in swings and a giant rope plus a whole lot more, and you have a really good regional stop over attraction. This is a beauty to turn into part of a day trip with a visit to Melba's Chocolate Factory (check out all the info on them here) or how about find a family friendly place for lunch (we have lots of great hills spots here) Thanks to Charleston Community Centre for the cow image.
