This playground has been recently upgraded and includes some great new features!

  • Flying fox (ideal for 3+, it has a bit of a jolt at the end, so make sure little hands can hold on)
  • Baby and toddler swings, plus “big kids” swing and swinging basket
  • 2 playground structures, one aimed more at 1-3 year olds and one for 3+
  • A ‘spinning wheel’ with 3 grip bars that the kids spent AGES on. A big hit!

Key features we also liked were…

  • Bike path running from Glenelg (or further south if you’re keen!) to Henley (or further north if you’re very fit!)
  • Lots of space to park
  • Plenty of grass to enjoy a picnic upon and some benches to rest, breast feed etc.
  • Easy access directly to beautiful West beach

Things to note:

  • The toilets are located a short walk from the playground, which is something to think about if you have multiple children or a toilet training toddler who needs to go “NOW!”
  • Make sure you pack hats as there’s minimal shade over the flying fox, swings and grassy area

  • Apex Park, West Beach

    Find it at: Burbridge Road, Westbeach Complementing the playground, Stage 1 of the upgraded area at Apex Park caters for a wide variety of ages and is great for catch ups, parties, a general play or hit of tennis. The fully fenced playground features lots of equipment over a quite large area. It is a bark chip surface, so with considering if unsteady on your feet, and there is unfortunately no accessible play here. If that doesn't rule you out, It's a bloody great park worth driving out of your area for. Best ages, honest opinion, there is not a lot of play for the under 3 yo's to play independently and not much for the 9 yo + in the play ground, apart from the oversized nest swing. Personally it makes a nice change here to NOT have water play. Some of us don't like it, especially in winter. Featuring lots of small to mid scale climbing opportunities including stairs, mini rock climb wall, a rope spider web tower, a mini spinning climbing frame and lots more. You will also find normal swings and the oversized nest swing. Throughout the equipment the kids will find fun activity games that…
