Inlet Reserve Playground is a great little playground located at the top of Trimmer Parade as you come off Military Road in a beautiful spot right next to the water. The park is new and modern with a great range of equipment for both young and older kids, including this cool climbing web that caught my eye as we were driving past.
Top spot for a picnic on the grass next to it which is also a good size for a run around or kick of the ball, as long as you’ve got semi good aim so it doesn’t end up in The Pat!
What we liked about this park
- Nice range of new and modern equipment for young and old kids with climbing ropes and frames, swings, slide.
- Nice location along the water with great patch of grass perfect for a picnic
- Great spot for a birthday party.
- Really nice and clean!
- Lots of spots to sit
- Nice clean undercover BBQ area
- Carpark right there
- Clean toilets
- Outdoor gym so you can bash out a few crunches while the kids are playing (or not!)
What we thought could be better
- As you can see from the photos there is no shad at all over the playground. No worries on a beautiful sunny Winter’s day like this, but in summer it would get pretty hot!
- If you have kids that are runners, the part is unfenced and borders the water so please keep your eyes on them.
- As far as I know there’s no shops or cafe within walking distance so pack snacks and pick up a coffee on the way. Check out our drive through coffee map for your closest one.
- Not terribly wheelchair friendly, and we’d love to see a Liberty Slide added!

Fabulous news that we have been waiting MONTHS for....the opening of the incredible upgrade at Wigley Reserve at Glenelg. Sometimes fantastic photos do a far better job at telling a story and this is absolutely one of those occasions. Check out how good it looks! The old playground is long gone and has been replaced with this impressive looking structure that really does catch the eye as you approach Wigley Reserve. It is important to note that the playground is now only partially fenced (locals would remember the old shaded plastic playground was fully fenced) on the Pat river side only. It is fully open on the grassed reserve side so you will need to keep your wits about you here as the water is pretty close. The old 'plastic fantastic' playground has been replaced with a sensational multi function playspace which will satisfy the climbers, the nature lovers, the jumpers, the exercising types and those who love a good swing. The highlight has to be the huge climbing structure which lets kids of all ages (thanks to really well designed safety netting) climb up nice and high and check out the incredible view of all the fancy expensive boats…
