Find it at: Everard Avenue, Keswick

This fab little playground had several upgrades through 2024 and 2025. This place is a fantastic local facility, with a shaded modern playground full of unique climbing areas for the kids to explore. The whole playground is shaded by sails in fact, with a number of play areas with a range of equipment to suit most ages.

Throw in a fantastic oval, basketball court, pump track and tennis court facilities, and this precinct becomes a one stop shop for a fab arvo for the locals. Plenty of off street parking, BBQ facilities, toilets and water fountains round off a nice little spot.

Thanks to Surface Contractors Australia for the images of the courts.

  • Nannigai Drive Reserve

    Find it at: Nannigai Drive, Hallett Cove Marion Council has done it again with a fabulous new playground down south, opened in mid 2021 at Hallett Cove. This is a fantastic all round community space, complete with toilets, basketball and tennis courts (with soccer goals too), BBQ, sheltered seating, drinking fountains and good parking off the quiet side street. Our crew loved this space, with a fantastic range of equipment which is perfect for the under 10s. Complete with swings, a climbing tower with multiple slides and a xylophone music installation that plays the most amazingly loud and beautiful sounds. The kids will be bashing away at this for ages (do wonder how the neighbours feel about it though!). The playground is right next to some lots of trees, which with the addition of a some little wooden features is quite the place to explore for the little ones. So chuck in the scooter, the balls and some meat for a fab family BBQ, because this one is an absolute ripper.
