Find it at: Cottage Lane, Hackham

Forsyth Playground, locally known as Cottage Lane park is one of our favourite playgrounds.

It has something for all ages: from toddler slide, little rocker beetles and a boat, to climbing frames and walls, a bike track and even a skate ramp!

There are toilets, 3 BBQ’s and several shade rotundas. The large areas of grass make having a picnic a breeze and space to play cricket, kick a ball and run around.

There’s a carpark just off Gates Road, or roadside parking on Cottage Lane. The skate park is on the other side of the creek, permitting some ‘space’ for the older kids who want to escape!

Many trees provide beautiful shade on warm days: a few of them are favourite climbing trees!
A mini amphitheatre separates the main playground to a more ‘private’ type grassed area, which is ideal for larger family gatherings.

  • Flinders Park Playground

    Find it at: Hartley Road Flinders Park A nice little playground with enough equipment choice to keep the kids busy for a few minutes at least! It could do with a few extra features as it has no fence, no shade (apart from some nearby trees), no water fountains, no seating and no BBQ. The toilet is only at the nearby footy club, so if that is closed then you are out of luck too. But it does have a cool little wooden boat, a huge nest swing and a heap of regular swings (including one for the toddlers). A good spot for the locals and with the nearby oval, plenty of space for everyone to run around (sadly due to the lack of seating parents will also have to run around as well. Soz.) Hartley Road is fairly busy so keep a watchful eye on the kids at this one.

  • Salisbury Skate Park

    Smaller budget community skate park, some interesting features enjoyed by my younger boys on BMX and scooter but the transitions on the northern wallride feature weren’t great. Roll in, quarter pipe, little button mushroom and raised box were interesting. Situated around a well manicured football oval. Playground adjacent with climbing equipment, a small flying fox, swings, picnic table & clean toilets. Fairly quiet. Find it at 38 Bagster Rd, Salisbury North [wpgmza id="138" cat="1" marker="875" zoom="16"]

  • Wildflower Park at Eden Playground

    Find it at: Two Wells A brand new $1million dollar playground has just opened in Two Wells! Near the Eden Residential Estate, the new playground is another nature play themed play space and made from all natural materials. The park itself is quite small but there's lots of balancing logs and beams, climbing nets, a nest swing, and a great hill slide that little sliders will love. There's an undercover picnic area with BBQ, making this a great spot for a birthday party or picnic lunch. Currently no toilets or shade over the playground.
