Kids in Adelaide – Our Favourite Playgrounds in Adelaide
It’s really hard to choosing our favourite playgrounds because we all like something different. Some kids like risky equipment, fast slides and lots of other kids, where as other kids like small parks where they can not feel overwhelmed. That’s why we try and review all sorts of playgrounds, not just the biggest and the “best” ones.
But if you’re looking for a playground bucket list of the “must do” in Adelaide. These would be our pick

Hey Roxy
I’ve been a big fan (+ my 2.75 yr old) of the Bunnings indoor playgrounds over the last few weeks (while it’s been peeing down). You should give them a try – they come with a mediocre but cheap cafe – you just hang out on the outdoor furniture while your kid goes mental :0)
Kim
Great idea Kim! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey I just noticed that when I click on the icon at this address – Ballater Ave, Campbelltown – Unity Park, Pooraka comes up. ??
Thanks Amanda, all fixed 🙂
Also a few great playgrounds are missing – Goldenfields in Golden Grove, Klemzig Gaza, and Cobbler Creek playground at the top of Smith Rd. Thanks so much for putting them all in one spot though, Its awesome!
Thanks for those Amanda. We’re trying to make our way around the state! All of these are definitely on our “must do” list

Just to name a few, there’s the playground on Emerald blvd, Aldinga.

Can you please add Battunga park in meadows?
Bonython Park is a winner for us as well as Apex Park at Hawthorndene.
You’ve missed one – Plympton Oval playground, South Plympton cnr of Ferry Ave and Milton Ave. Small, but has swing set, slide and nature play elements. Perfect for toddlers! I love the map feature though!
Also Aldridge Avenue Reserve, Aldridge Avenue South Plympton. Opposite Ralli St. Has Tennis Courts, Basket ball hoop, swings, slide, covered picnic table, even BBQ I believe. Sadly no toilets. Also, huge grassy area for sports.
Hi just wanted to say I’ve been a big fan of playground since I was young. I have visited most of these playground and recommomend for all ages. Also wanted to say that this is such a great idea to have them list on one site. My favorites so far would have to be the apex playground in Loxton SA thanks
