The gorgeous Japanese Himeji Gardens are located on the Eastern side of Glen Osmond Road and South Terrace intersection. This little oasis in the Southern Parklands is a wonderful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of ‘normal life’.
Enter the gardens during daylight hours and you’ll instantly feel more peaceful and a short walk through this serene garden will help any stressed parent (or anyone else!). With a lovely water feature that is home to large goldfish, ducks and turtles, there is also a waterfall under the trees too.
Throughout the gardens there are lovely Japanese plantings and a well maintain Japanese rock Zen garden, or Karensansui.
Please respect the tranquillity of the Japanese Himeji Gardens. While we think all kids should be able to experience this wonderful place please understand that other garden visitors are probably here for the peace and calming qualities too. This isn’t a park for ball games and loud family gatherings – take the family across the road to the newly renovated Marshmallow Park which is perfect for that!

Find it at: The Parkway, Fulham Garden Located directly behind Target at Fulham Gardens this playground can't be missed with its bright orange play equipment. With a little something for everyone, the favourite and most obvious piece of equipment is quite a steep tubular slide with the BIG smiley face at the end. Located either side of the tubular slide are 2 more slides with slightly gentler slopes, leaving the kids with a lot of sliding choice. The main play piece has lots of climbing parts, including a rope net, mini combat, mini climbing wall , stairs poles and lots more. The play area also features a swing set, including a toddler swing, along with a large sand pit with hop on digger for the little ones to use. Situated around the play equipment you will also see little pockets of nature play for the kids to play on including stumps, rocks and lots of grass and trees around. This playground has no toilets, shade ( besides the trees ) or fence so is very much a local playground or a quick place to drop into if you are in the area. There is a coffee shop in the Target…

I. LOVE. MARKETS! I've been on both sides of the market stall, and I am a big fan. Give me a fresh juice, some live music, and some cheese samples and I will come a running. Here in Adelaide we are so lucky to have so many fantastic markets to choose from so we've gathered up the ones we know about and added them all to this page. It's updated constantly with new markets added all the time so make sure you check back each weekend to find out where your local market is, or discover a new Adelaide market to check out this weekend!
