As I rocked up to this playground my first reaction was WOW. This recently upgraded playground is huge and would appeal to a variety of ages. This playground is fully fenced and has lots of different styles of climbing equipment for the kids. The play equipment has enough to keep the big kids and little ones entertained, with the flying fox a real hit here (at least the kids get a decent ride!)
The tower and tube slide is perfect for the slightly older kids, but we just love the stunning vibe here, with open space and plenty of greenery to lap up.
The reserve also features lots of grass to play on, toilets, basketball court, as well as an undercover BBQ area with tables.
Whilst there are quite a few trees around the reserve the only down fall to this wonderful playground is there is NO shade over the equipment. Such a shame. I
In need of a coffee Market on Maxwell ( located on Maxwell Tce ) is only a short walk away

A big kids dream. You have to work hard to get to the top but the cool slippery dip is surely worth it. A variety of other equipment is then scattered around the fully fenced play area to suit a few different ages.

Find it at: Darwin St Genelg North This local reserve located just off Anzac Highway has a fabulous "Outback" theme playground equipment that gives the kids a great place to use there imaginations when playing. This playground has lots of pieces of equipment for kids to climb up and over and through. It includes a small slippery dip, bridge for climbing over ,swing set including baby swing and I love how they have used an old water tank to create the outback theme that the kids can play in. There are couple of little themed bouncy pieces of equipment for the toddlers along with a huge grassed area to run some energy off. It also has wheelchair access. This reserve has BBQ facilities with undercover tables. However NO toilets, NO fence or No shade for the playground area. A nice little spot for a quick play if in the area. Closest coffee is either Jetty Road Glenelg with lots of café options or Coffee Time on Tapley's Hill Road.

Find it at: Corner of Adelphi Terrace and Mac Farlane St Glenelg North This park sits directly opposite the Patawalonga and has a small playground along with lots of grassed area. It is a great playground/park to utilise if you want to head down for a walk or bike round around the Patawalonga or if heading to Glenelg North Beach. The playground has a slippery dip, swing set including baby swing, a few toddler bouncy animals along with a couple of climbing wall features. Beside the playground is sits a small bike track for beginners. There is a picnic table but unfortunately this area has no BBQ facilities, toilets or shade at ALL on the reserve. You will find BBQ facilities on the other side of the road along the Patawalonga. The park is half fenced off along the main road closest to the playground but not on the side streets. Lots of parking around the park and if in need of a coffee there is a new coffee shop called Coffee Time a 5 min walk up to Tapleys Hill Road .
