Find it at: Drummond Ave, Findon
Here is a great fresh playground with something for kids of all ages including at least four separate climbing opportunities.
Set in a quiet suburban street, Don Klaebe is not fully fenced, but feels safe and is definitely worth diverting a little out of your way for a play if you are in the west.
Adjacent the baseball club, there is ample access to a big semi fenced lawn if you want to bring the dog, kite or footy.
For the little people, we love that it is not busy here. We love the steps up to the toddler slide with handrails and we love the sturdy modern toddler swings.
For bigger kids 3yo+ we love the bridge you cross to get to the funky slide, we love the many climbing opportunities and the HUGE nest swing.
For older kids again, there are free tennis courts and a basketball ring.
And our highlight was definitely the car / buggy.
There are no toilets on site, but you will find a drink fountain, bin and afternoon shade thanks to some large gum trees.
No tables / permanent shade.

Find it at at: Ethel St, Forestville We love this playground! It's small but perfect for the whole family. The in ground trampolines are favourites with ours as is the climbing frame.It has a shade sail but also surrounded by gorgeous trees, so often shady even on the hottest summer day. There's a barbecue and picnic table and plenty of room to kick a ball. Across the bridge is a skate park, public toilet and Unley pool which has a cafe for coffee, ice creams and snacks in the months the pool is open. This park is right next the Goodwood train station and a short walk from the Forestville tram stop for easy public transport access.Two Sparrows Cafe and Kitchen as well as Dear Daisy cafe are a short walk away.The Adelaide Showgrounds Farmer's Market is right around the corner, so a great spot to stop on the way to or from the market. The downsides are, no fence and there is a creek in the reserve. It's rarely running but something to be mindful of if your little one likes to wander!
