Heywood Park Ninja Playground
The gorgeous parklands at Unley hosst a fantastic nature themed ninja course which is very achievable for all ages and abilities. Featuring a clearly marked ‘Start’ and ‘Finish’ line, this is one all ninjas have to try.
Pine Reserve Aberfoyle Park
Less of a ninja course but full of ninja equipment, nestled amongst the pine trees down south is this 2023 upgraded playground. Serenity abounds here and you can sit back with a coffee and let the kids ninja away all their energy!
Penfold Park
A beautiful playground with all the bells and whistles, this also includes a small ninja area which is perfect for all ages. A top class all round playground this one.
Tarnham Road Reserve
The 2023 upgrade to this activity hub included a fab little ninja course! Pack the basketball and tennis rackets for this one too, this is a great community fitness facility.
Sherry Park Reserve
Mylor plays home to this 2024 built ninja course which comes complete with electronic stop watch! One for the older kids (the monkey bars are rather high), race through the obstacles and then scoot around on the bikes at the adjacent pump track.
McElligott’s Reserve
A fully fledge ninja course sits perched on the foothills at Mitcham. This one is sensational fun, with some high quality equipment and challenging enough but not too hard to rule out the little kids. This is a must.
Valley Lake Playground
Located right down south in Mount Gambier, this fully fenced playground next to the lake has it all….including a ninja course!

Wow this is a huge area for the kids to run wild and let off some energy. With the new playground upgrade in June 2017 this reserve/playground/skate park is worth the visit. As soon as I got to the gate I was super excited to see the colourful equipment painted green and orange that awaits you. The bright equipment is a fabulous add to this existing skate park. A multi level climbing tower is the main structure to this playground and caters for all ages First level is for the little ones and has a little slide whilst the big kids can keep climbing the tower and enjoy the tubular slide that looks like a small water slide. Along with the colourful tower this playground has a swing set including a baby swing, a little see saw, a climbing area with monkey bars and a few other pieces for the little ones to play on with most pieces protected by the shade cloth. Not far from the play equipment you will find fitness equipment, followed by a basketball ring then the Skate park. Look further a field and right down the other end of this reserve is a cricket net,…

One of those things that you just do not understand until you’ve had kids is how excellent a well timed pram walk can be. There’s something about that perfect ratio of smooth with a few soothing bumps and long enough to last at least one sleep cycle that will have you driving back to the same place every time you’re desperate for a bit of exercise…..or desperate to get bubs to sleep. We’ve had A LOT of babies over the years here at KiA so we’ve put together some of our favourite spots for a pram walk.
