Find it at: Cowell Foreshore Precinct, Thompson Drive, Cowell
Cowell Foreshore Precinct underwent a $9 million upgrade in 2023 with the addition of an aquatic playground featuring a Splash Park and Water Slides, a Basketball Court, a Jumping Pillow and increased car parking (including long parks) for all those caravanning families!
Cowell is a beautiful coastal town situated on the Franklin Harbour, approximately 490kms (around 5 hours drive) north-west of Adelaide. A popular place for fishing activities due to its sheltered waters of the harbour, Cowell offers so much more than just Oysters and Fish!
The Franklin Cowell Foreshore precinct redevelopment has seen the creation of the Cowell Water Park alongside the Cowell Lions Park. The Precinct includes a free outdoor water play area featuring a splash zone and two water slides. A skate park, Jumping Pillow and full sized Basketball court have been added to the existing playground as well. There is also plenty of lawn for ball games and sheltered areas for picnics, as well as free barbeques!
Whether you are looking for a morning tea or lunch stop on your Eyre Peninsula road trip or you’re staying in the township, this is the perfect place to be on a warm day!
There are toilets onsite, barbecues, shelters and a beautiful large lawn for people to enjoy ball games or a picnic. Add in a basketball court, skate park and splash zone and we are ticking all the playground boxes for this one!
Who’s planning a trip to the Eyre Peninsula now!?

When it's hot in Adelaide, it's really bloody hot. So here are some great parks where you can find FREE shade, water, and some playground fun to keep the kids happy and the electricity bill down. As always PLEASE be very careful with your kids around water. We love kids exploring, having fun in nature and having a splash but you need to watch them at all times! And don't forget to slip, slop, slap and wrap! All of the places below are FREE for a cool down, more of a splash than a proper swim If you're looking for swimming pools and water parks - click hereIf you're looking for our favourite beaches for families - click hereIf you're looking for secret swimming spots - click here Got other Faves? let us know so we can add them

Did you know that Splash Town at Moonta Bay Foreshore on the Yorke Peninsula is an entirely FREE waterpark for kids and families? Think waterslides, tipping bucket and a whole heap of waterplay fun. It's a fantastic community facility, open for every one to use. South Australia has some really great little water parks and water slides, however a lot of them are hidden in various tourist parks and only available for use of their customers, it can be hard to find one that everyone can use, especially with out paying. A real family holiday fave hot spot, the water park is able to be used by kids (and adults…well nobody told me off) of all ages and abilities. My youngest was a little shy at first but he was covered by the little slide in the park. The eldest kids (and me) had a ball on the 4 big slides as well as the big water bucket. With plenty of seats and grassed areas to sit and watch the kids, as well as it all being fenced off, this just makes for a superb family arvo. Once you finish at the water park you can wander the nearby beach…

Ahhh summer in South Australia. The perfect time to pack up the car & head to one of our many beautiful beaches, lakes or springs for a swim. We have dived in (see what I did there?) to find the best spots to cool off. No matter the age or swimming level of your kids there is sure to be somewhere in the list below that is perfect for your family. There are beaches that are perfect for boogie boards, rockpools to discover our marine life, secret natural plunge pools, lagoons, jetty enclosures & more. Some are our metro Adelaide beaches, some are in regional SA & some are very well kept secrets! Tag us in your photos of these watery havens - also don't forget to slip, slop, slap, check water levels & currents before entering the water & ALWAYS supervise kids around water.
