When we think of the playgrounds for toddlers we think of one key thing FENCES. Anything else is pretty much a bonus! We also look for swings, toilets and, even better, a nice shaded space. These things are not always possible (why don't ALL playgrounds have fences ALL the way around?!), but check out these playgrounds around Adelaide that we think your kids- and you- will love. Here are what we think are the TOP TEN Toddler Playgrounds in Adelaide. George Jones Reserve Fulham Gardens Hessing Crescent Reserve Trott Park Jervois Street Reserve Playground South Plympton Marshmallow Park / Pityarilla Activity Hub Glover North Helicopter Park North Adelaide Bush Magic Playground North Adelaide Hessing Crescent Trott Park Bush Magic North Adelaide Stanley Street Reserve Marion Keith Stephenson Park Mount Barker If none of those are close enough or not what you're after, here's even more.

So we know that lots of families have kids ranging from toddler to teens so we've tried to find some great playgrounds we think your older kids will enjoy, while still offering some play space for younger children. For those of you with only older children, these playground spaces are still great and you just get the added bonus of sitting down instead of chasing a toddler around trying to put their hat on! We have a soft spot for some on these list, here are our faves (in no particular order) Glenthorne Adventure Playground GT Fisher Nature Playground Morialta Adventure Playground Jubilee Playground Port Noarlunga Monash Adventure Playground Thorndon Park Karoonda Playground Goldenfields Playground

Name a better combo than a ripping playground and a strong cup of coffee at a near by cafe. There is none. Sitting back with a quality coffee while the kids play at a fabulous playground, allowing you a moment to close your eyes and just recharge, is one of parenting's great pleasures (That and getting kicked in the ribs at 3am by a restless toddler....isn't that just so fun!) With that in mind coffee lovers, we have scoured our epic playground archive and found the spots with the best coffee nearby. So scroll down and choose your fave for your next playground visit. If we have missed your fave, let us know! Here are what we think are theTop Playgrounds Near Coffee in Adelaide. Apex Park and Joan's Pantry Hawthorndene Largs Foreshore and Kiosk Bonython Park and Cafe Bonython Semaphore South and Shelly's Kiosk Steamroller Park and Hokey Pokey Keith Stephenson Park and Sazon Mt Barker If none of those are close enough or not what you're after, here's even more.
Muzz Buzz at Main North Rd Prospect has closed down.
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!
