Find it at: Ashley Street Torrensville
Ashley Street Playground is a medium sized playground more suited to locals to the area. I probably wouldn’t drive too far to specifically go to this park, but if you live in the Western suburbs it’s a nice option for a playdate for something different.
The playground area is fully fenced which is great, and there are also enough bench seats to go around. It’s really annoying when a playground only has one bench seat for all the Mums and Dads to squish on 🙂 The equipment includes a spiral slide, monkey bars, climbing wall and ropes, swings and a liberty swing.
What we liked about this playground
- Really nicely shaded with a big shade sail stretching over the whole thing
- Fully fenced! Yay no run aways
- Clean and tidy
- BBQ was right next door and nice and clean
- Tennis courts right next to it
- Liberty Swing
- Clean and tidy
What we thought could be better
- The toilets were a bit dim.
- Not very grassy, if you want to watch the kids playing you have to sit on one of the bench seats or on the rubber floor
- Street parking is available, but there’s not a lot of it. You might have to park a fair way down the road if there are lots of people at the park that day.
- No shops nearby that I could see, so definitely grab a coffee from your local on the way there!

Find it at: Military Road, Henley Beach A lovely little fenced off local toddler playground nestled in the beach side suburb of Henley Beach. This playground has nice modern equipment including lots of climbing steps , a tunnel for the kids to crawl through , a groovy little slippery dip, some bouncy animal pieces and a swing set. Our favourites would be the little merry go round along with the trampoline in the ground ( its pretty cool). Don't worry it has lots of squishy protection around the outside just in case the kids bounce off . The park is surrounded by a lovely grass area and has lots of trees for the kids to play amongst. Centred in the middle of the reserve is a picnic table with shelter but unfortunately this park doesn't have a BBQ,toilets or shade. In need of food or coffee? There are lots of options in Henley Beach with either a stop at Henley Sq beforehand or Yankee Café or Dulwich Bakery are both on Henley Beach Road and not far from the reserve.

I must admit rocking up to this playground I was a tad excited and silently wished I was a kid again. Catering for a broad range of ages this playground located in Glenelg East is a fabulous First thing you see is the tall crow’s nest with spider web climbing ropes leading up to the top followed by a long tubular green slippery dip.

A variety of other equipment is then scattered around the fully fenced play area to suit a few different ages. Animal bouncy pieces, a see saw, swing set including a nest swing and baby swing and you certainly can not miss the big orange and blue bouncy car. The brightly coloured crooked house is also fabulous play area for the toddlers and includes a small climbing area and a bright red tunnel you must climb through to get to the little slippery dip. The reserve also has a large grassed area that can be utilised, BBQ facilities and toilets. Whilst there are quite a few big trees creating some shade over the…
