Find it at: 10 Sheoak Ave Novar Gardens
This local little playground is nestled in the quiet streets of Novar Gardens and sits right next to historic Cummins House.
Cummins House was built in 1842 for Sir John Morphett and his wife Elizabeth and were one of Adelaide’s founding families. Once a working farmland for orchards, vines and olives the property also farmed sheep and had a well known horse stud. Today the house and grounds welcome visitors to come along and see how the lives of one of Adelaide’s known families lived. The beautiful gardens are very popular for functions and weddings.
The playground is suited for toddlers and has a lovely jungle animal theme. From frogs on the end of the see saw, to turtles and monkeys placed near the 2 slippery dips all adding to the jungle atmosphere . The playground has a couple of bouncing animals, swing set including a baby seat and has a couple of little climbing walls and ropes.
Unfortunately this playground has no fence , shade( it is surrounded by large trees ) or toilets so I would suggest a look around Cummins House during visitor hours followed by a short play at this playground.
In need of a coffee?.… hmmm not really anything that close to this park. Closest is the Mc Café on Anzac Highway Camden Park .

This is one of my favourite parks. A beautiful park/playground perfect for the kids to have a play on the playground, enjoy a run on the grass or explore the beautiful manicured gardens. Partridge House is a beautiful old community home built in 1899 and is now used for private functions with the grounds open each day until 10pm to the public. The playground caters for a few ages and has a swing set including baby swing, 2 slippery dips, climbing pieces and a few smaller fun pieces for toddlers. Perfect spot for a family picnic with tables, toilets and BBQ facilities available. Whilst this park does not have shade clothes there is plenty of beautiful shady areas around the park but unfortunately not covering all the play equipment. The park is fenced off however the front gate is open for access to Partridge House Function rooms. My suggestion if you have small children would be to park in the back street (Penzance St) which is where the playground is situated, and stay down the back end of the park. This a popular area on weekends for weddings or private functions so just a little note to let you know…

Find it at: Brooker Terrace, Hilton West Torrens Memorial Gardens are one of the city's beautiful green spaces and are situated off Brooker Terrace next to the Cowandilla (Hamra) Library, and featured a great upgrade in 2018.There are heaps of climbing and swinging options for those with little people who love to climb as much as ours do! We love the unique bridge which links the two sides of the playspace, allowing visitors to walk underneath. Very cool. We love water play and we are looked after here with a water play area and a large sandpit - yay!There are lots of different and interesting climbing options from the well loved spider's web (above), to these dual abseiling /climbing ropes alongside the slide (below)There is also plenty of green space in the West Torrens Memorial Gardens, with lots of established trees for shade. SPINNERS! The toilets are open during library hours, and there is a water fountain/bottle refill station. There are lots of shade trees, but much of the playground equipment isn't under shade cover.
