The Adelaide Hills Sculpture Trail features 26 contemporary sculptures crafted by master sculptors from all corners of the world during the Adelaide Hills International Sculpture Symposiums in 2012, 2014 and 2016 Most of the sculptures are dotted around the beautiful landscape of the Adelaide Hills, with some in the neighbouring region of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Why not put all 26 stops on your weekend or school holiday bucket list and tick them all off!

Image credit: City of Playford This park is part of a nature reserve, with a small playground that includes a slide, spinner, swings and some cool climbing/balancing equipment Image credit: City of Playford It's a great area for a run around, kick of the ball or somewhere you can sit with the dog (on leash) while the kids have a play Image credit: City of Playford There's not many facilities around though, a bench seat and a rubbish bin is about it. No toilets or shade Thanks to Amy for this playground review 36 Seavington Road, Elizabeth Park
Fantastic news skater fans, with news that FINALLY, after being left skatepark-less since 2013, construction has commenced on a brand new skate park. Located at the Gladys Elphick ParkNarnungga (Park 25) or the corner of Glover Av and West Terrace, it is expected to be completed by mid 2021. We have pursued the skate works plan and have determined that our favourite feature is the 'Taco' at number 22 (detailed plan below - thanks to Premier Steven Marshall for the pic). Sounds delicious! Scroll down for a fantastic 3D video flyover of the plan. We can't wait to watch this unfold and will be there to check it out as soon as it is open for testing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fu5AaKU91E
