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!
