Find it at: Belair National Park, SA
** UPDATE DECEMBER 2025 | A popular section of this playground in the park will be updated in the second half of 2025, with construction well underway and nearing completion **
Get ready for a brand new playground adventure! The old metal-framed play equipment is making way for a fresh, fun-filled upgrade that’s all about better play, safer fun, and less maintenance.
Think three epic slides, a climbing rope pyramid, monkey bars, three swings, a rock-climbing wall, an emu rocker and more.
Accessibility has been thoughtfully included, with a trampoline, nest swing, story board, raised platform, maze and even a xylophone for musical fun.
The playground will sit right in the middle of the picnic area, wrapped around a beautiful existing tree. Families can enjoy hours of play under the shade of towering gum trees, with the layout following the natural slope of the land to make it easier for everyone to get around.
And don’t worry…..the play tunnels and fort sections of the park will remain unchanged during these works but have been identified for potential further upgrades.
Located within Belair National Park and surrounded by 800 hectares of beautiful bush this playground is an oldie, but a goodie!
These photos bring back so many memories for us. Can anyone else remember school excursions here in the 80s and eating massive bush biscuits? Sitting in the huge concrete tunnels and then scurrying away trying to hide from your friends.
Belair National Park sells itself. An iconic spot in Adelaide with beautiful natural scenery, fantastic facilities scattered throughout to suit whatever occasion you are after. If you haven’t visited the adventure playground in a few years, bring your kids and spend the day. They will love the open space, the iconic huge concrete tubes, wooden fort and playground equipment.
It has all you need in a playground too. Toilets, shelter, BBQ and parking. Check out the national park here for all the park entry details.

Adelaide is set to get ourselves an Australian first Aerial adventure playground with a huge 120 sky-high challenges on the structure over 25metres in the air! To be located in the Adelaide Shores precinct (between the Resort & Caravan Park on Military Road) at West Beach, the aerial playground will feature scramble nets, rope bridges, beams, vine swings, zip wires, log steps, aerial surfboards and a luge. Don't be fooled into thinking this awesome new playground is just for the kids! It will be designed for people of all ages to challenge themselves - and for those who just want to watch, there will be a number of viewing area with great views out past the airport and all the way to Glenelg. There will be stringent safety features in place, with participants harnessed and suspended from a line, so that if they fall off anything, they can just climb back up again. To be name the “M.E.G.A. Adventure Park @ Adelaide Shores”, the aerial playground is already well under construction and should be open to the public in October. Bring on this awesome new Adelaide MEGA Aerial Adventure Playground - Kids in Adelaide will keep you posted! *images and…

Smaller budget community skate park, some interesting features enjoyed by my younger boys on BMX and scooter but the transitions on the northern wallride feature weren’t great. Roll in, quarter pipe, little button mushroom and raised box were interesting. Situated around a well manicured football oval. Playground adjacent with climbing equipment, a small flying fox, swings, picnic table & clean toilets. Fairly quiet. Find it at 38 Bagster Rd, Salisbury North [wpgmza id="138" cat="1" marker="875" zoom="16"]
