It’s a huge space with plenty of adult seating and a couple of bbq’s. The equipment caters to a range of age groups and even has a little mini bike track so bring along a bike or scooter. There’s heaps of parking and a toilet block across the road. It’s not fenced and Lake Bonney is across the road so you will need to know where the children are at all times to keep them safe.
We particularly loved the five way swing (and there are a whole bunch of other swings too) and the suspension bridge, plus the cubby houses with underground ‘speaker phones’.

When we think of the playgrounds for toddlers we think of one key thing FENCES. Anything else is pretty much a bonus! We also look for swings, toilets and, even better, a nice shaded space. These things are not always possible (why don't ALL playgrounds have fences ALL the way around?!), but check out these playgrounds around Adelaide that we think your kids- and you- will love. Here are what we think are the TOP TEN Toddler Playgrounds in Adelaide. George Jones Reserve Fulham Gardens Hessing Crescent Reserve Trott Park Jervois Street Reserve Playground South Plympton Marshmallow Park / Pityarilla Activity Hub Glover North Helicopter Park North Adelaide Bush Magic Playground North Adelaide Hessing Crescent Trott Park Bush Magic North Adelaide Stanley Street Reserve Marion Keith Stephenson Park Mount Barker If none of those are close enough or not what you're after, here's even more.

So we know that lots of families have kids ranging from toddler to teens so we've tried to find some great playgrounds we think your older kids will enjoy, while still offering some play space for younger children. For those of you with only older children, these playground spaces are still great and you just get the added bonus of sitting down instead of chasing a toddler around trying to put their hat on! We have a soft spot for some on these list, here are our faves (in no particular order) Glenthorne Adventure Playground GT Fisher Nature Playground Morialta Adventure Playground Jubilee Playground Port Noarlunga Monash Adventure Playground Thorndon Park Karoonda Playground Goldenfields Playground

The Bower Road Bike Park is located at the Aquatic Reserve In West Lakes Shores on the corner of Old Port Road and Bower Road. We found it particularly good for advanced riders as we haven’t seen many other bike parks of this level in SA. If you want something to compare it against and you’re familiar with the track off Greenhill/Unley roads in the CBD then this Bower Road Bike Park is more suited to riders of the CBD’s intermediate and (often closed) advanced tracks. The location has been used as a BMX track, however over the last decade the track has not had the attention it received in years gone by. In 2013 a group of local residents school groups and the Charles Sturt Council got together to start discussing ways to improve the park and redevelop it to provide a fully functioning bike park that was as good as the facilities being developed overseas and in other parts of Australia. Through the efforts of volunteers in collaboration with the council the park currently has a kids BMX track, an advanced BMX track, Dirt Jumps and a Pump Track. Our confident 5-6 year old bike riders are comfortable…
