Find it at: Malwa Street, Glandore
The fabulous playground at the Glandore Community Centre is now open and we think it looks sensational!
The highlight of course is the huge ‘birdcage’ climbing structure which leads into a great tube slide, which is big enough to keep the older kids entertained but also is just right for the brave younger ones to try. There is a 3 on 3 basketball court, and a table tennis table plus plenty of lawned area’s including a mini soccer pitch (perfect spot to pack the car with ALL the balls). We loved the little pump track for the smaller crew to ride and scoot around, plus the artwork scattered around adds a really nice touch to a very well put together facility for the community.
Parents will enjoy the seating, as well as the natural shade from the mature trees in the park, and there is a small fence that offers some barrier between the playground and the road. It is only a relatively quiet side street however, so it is in a good spot for a bit of peace and quiet well away from busy South Road. Toilets can be found in the adjoining Community Centre.

Find it at:Park Rd, Virginia For a fully fenced playground - this was a huge area - but not so big that you can't see your kids at all times. A great playground for toddlers to about 6-8 years old - but then the climbing frame and basketball ring could be good for those a bit older and as it is adjoining the local footy oval - plenty of room for bigger kids to kick around, fly a kite, run etc or even ride bikes around the outer oval track (think country footy oval) What we love Shades over MOST play equipment Shaded BBQ and table area Exercise Equipment Two swings (toddler and normal) Traditional monkey bars Small-Medium Slippery Dip - we loved the proper steps with hand rails for toddlers Huge Climbing Frame Spinning pole Paved paths perfect for learner scooters Basketball ring with plenty of concrete and space to play Soft astro turf under play gear (not sand or bark) Well maintained / neat and tidy for its age apart from the piercing squeak from the swings - The toilets are outside of fence, but very close by.

Find it at: South Terrace Adelaide Another fully fenced park in the city, this South Terrace playground is located near the Unley/Pulteney Road intersection of the Parklands. Well equipped and better suited for slightly older kids than the one a few blocks West, this playground includes a good sized, seated flying fox, numerous toddler and regular swings, slides for all ages and spring rockers. It also has a sizable climbing net for older kids, a rock climbing wall, sandpits and importantly, is home to one of the few wheelchair friendly 'liberty swings', which we love. Other features include toilets, tables, water fountain and covered areas. Most of the play equipment is not fully shaded. Outside the large, fenced playground there are numerous playing fields and a basketball court.
