The Dolly Graham Memorial Playground is a nice little stop to shake out the legs after a long drive to the Eyre Peninsula, or if you’re lucky enough to be staying a few nights in this beautiful region a nice playground to spend an hour or two.
This brightly coloured Dolly Graham Playground is located between the Venus Bay Jetty and the Caravan Park and has a few slides, climbing frames, rockers, monkey bars, five swings including a nest swing (with a great view) and a little mini basketball court. It’s actually a great little spot, toddlers and younger kids will love it, and the basketball court and monkey bars will hopefully keep older kids busy for a while.
Pop over to the Venus Bay Foreshore Tourist Park next door which has a little kiosk inside where you can grab hot food, snacks, coffee, sandwiches and some other grocery items.
Not fenced, not shaded. Public toilet located in the jetty carpark not far away.

Find it at: Railway Terrace, Beachport The fantastic playground upgrade at Beachport is complete and it is fantastic! The playground is headlined by easily one of the best playground pirate ships in the state, with plenty of sand play, climbing rope equipment, flying fox, slides and swings. There really is so much to do for all ages and how about the view! Just a stunning attraction for families in the region and all those from the city who head to the south east on road trips every holidays and long weekend. Council, with the support of the Federal Government, completed a major upgrade of the Susan Wilson Memorial Playground in Beachport. The project budget was $350,000, which includes $200,000 in government grant funding through the Local Road and Community Infrastructure Program. More info here from the Council.
