Find it at: Greenshields Place, Ridleyton
Albert Greenfields Reserve is a nice little park nestled in Ridleyton just off Torrens Road. This playground is suitable for toddlers and above. There is a good variety of equipment, half court basketball court and lots of grass for the kids to run around, dance on or kick the ball. We grabbed a coffee from the nearby coffee shop, sat under a tree on a park bench and enjoyed watching the kids play.
The equipment features lots of climbing or swinging pieces ranging from monkey bars, to a metal ropes course, mini rock climbing and different staircases suited to different ages. It features two slippery dips. One for the toddlers to easy access, and one bright blue curly slide. There is a nest swing along with another swing set that caters for the little ones with a baby seat. We loved the spinning pole along with the mini sea-saw.
Albert Greenfields is a quaint little playground that is half fenced protecting the kids from the main road. It has shade over the next swings. Car park, BBQ area and toilets available. A few local coffee shops or bakeries near by. The reserve also has a separate, fully fenced dog park for the 4 legged family members to have a run around in.

Find it at: Kooralla Grove, Kidman Park What a great little park this one is. With a fantastic range of play equipment, including some reasonably challenging climbing equipment to a playground with an enclosed twirly slide, this has something for most ages. It even has a heap of outdoor gym equipment but lets be honest, apart from sitting on the ski swingy one, nobody has ever used any of it....or is that just us? No toilets is the only let down here, but it has a BBQ, seating, a mix of toddler and traditional swings, several slides and is a really beautiful spot. There is no fencing but the river is about 100m away and it is in a nice quiet back street so you shouldn't have many issues.

Find it at: George Street, Marion The City of Marion have opened up yet another fabulous playground (they are really setting the standard aren't they), this time a spacious playground at George Street. With an in-ground trampoline, swing, sandpit, water pump and 2 historical-themed cubby houses, including a village store and a workers cottage, this one is really cool. There’s also a miniature fire pole, slide and logs to jump on and an upgraded 3-on-3 basketball and netball court. There's plenty of space (the oval and footy goals are just fantastic) for your doggo to run around, as well as a sheltered BBQ area. Oh and did we mention there are toilets? Because there are! We really enjoyed this one and there was plenty for our older boys to climb and swing around on, whilst also offering enough to keep the young ones entertained.
