The redeveloped GT Fisher Playground in Victor Harbor opened in July 2019 and is located where the old train playground was, right near the horse trams, this nature playground will have the kids smiling all around.
What an amazing interactive, quirky playspace the people of Victor Harbor have delivered. Based around the local community feedback and ideas the design and theme of this nature playground was to keep the strong ties of Victor Harbor. Indeed they have certainly managed to do this. These include the use of the granite, the inclusion of an island with causeway, a fisherman shack and railway inspired elements. They have hit the mark and created an amazing play space designed for all abilities and lots of inclusive play areas.
We love how the play area caters for a variety of ages and certainly has something for everyone offering a range of adventures. For the older kids there are lots of climbing options and heaps of funky elements, sculptures and the like that inquisitive eyes will appreciate.
For younger kids there’s lots of rocks and logs to balance on, ropes to climb and slides for all sizes.

Victor Harbor is an iconic seaside town less than an hour out of Adelaide. The weather is always a little cooler in Victor, which makes it the IDEAL place to visit with the kids during the searing heat of Adelaide summers. The beaches are great, with Middleton, Carrikalinga, Goolwa and Port Elliot a short drive away and great for body boarding, surfing and swimming. There's delicious bakeries and family friendly cafes and restaurants to enjoy a meal and this area also has some of our favourite playgrounds. If you're planning a trip to Victor be sure to put a few of these on your 'to do' list. Due to the algal bloom, we recommend checking the authorised SA Government Algal Bloom update page here, before attending any beaches or entering the water.
