Find it at: South Terrace Adelaide Another fully fenced park in the city, this South Terrace playground is located near the Unley/Pulteney Road intersection of the Parklands. Well equipped and better suited for slightly older kids than the one a few blocks West, this playground includes a good sized, seated flying fox, numerous toddler and regular swings, slides for all ages and spring rockers. It also has a sizable climbing net for older kids, a rock climbing wall, sandpits and importantly, is home to one of the few wheelchair friendly 'liberty swings', which we love.

Outside the large, fenced playground there are numerous playing fields and a basketball court.

(Note: children 8-15 need an adult to climb with, but that's all the more fun for you!) We gave RoofClimb a go recently and loved it! There are a range of RoofClimb adventures you can choose from including day climbs, twilight climbs, or even watch sporting events from the roof! You will be in a group, guided by a RoofClimb leader with an earpiece in so they can give you some commentary and cool facts about the Oval and of course let you know all the safety bits and pieces about your climb. Speaking of safety - we aren't that keen on heights but felt completely safe and at ease the whole time during our climb. Your leader will take you through a practise of the "lean out" which is the iconic pose you see in the all the photos, but…
Mum to an adventurous two year old boy & a six year old who loves the spotlight. I recently rekindled my childhood passion & started dance classes again, so there is lots of lounge room dance-offs in our house. I also work in cellar doors pouring wine tastings – when I’m not partaking myself!
