Find it at: Hanson St near the Jetty area, Kingston SE
Fully fenced, surrounded by grass and located near shops for a food or drink. The Lions Park in Kingston SE is either a great spot for a play if staying in Kingston or a great place for the kids to have a run and play if on your way further down the South East. The play equipment is great for a range of ages. It features 2 slides. One for the little ones and a curly slide for a bit more excitement for the early school aged kids. Of course our 18 month old preferred the more exciting one!
The play space has quite a few climbing pieces to challenge older kids. A solid climbing frame, a miniature rock climbing wall, stairs, poles and climbing chain frame. It features a few games such a noughts and crosses along with some imaginative play areas. You will find a seesaw for the toddlers along with a swing set including a baby swing.
Lots of open grass, toilets and shade this is a great regional play area. We used it for a lunch and play spot on our way to Robe but it is great if you are staying in Kingston. We enjoyed a coffee from the local coffee shop Bliss and lunch from the bakery after a visit to the Big Lobster.

Find it at: Hartley Road Flinders Park A nice little playground with enough equipment choice to keep the kids busy for a few minutes at least! It could do with a few extra features as it has no fence, no shade (apart from some nearby trees), no water fountains, no seating and no BBQ. The toilet is only at the nearby footy club, so if that is closed then you are out of luck too. But it does have a cool little wooden boat, a huge nest swing and a heap of regular swings (including one for the toddlers). A good spot for the locals and with the nearby oval, plenty of space for everyone to run around (sadly due to the lack of seating parents will also have to run around as well. Soz.) Hartley Road is fairly busy so keep a watchful eye on the kids at this one.

Find it at: Burnham Reserve, Kingston Park The Kingston Park Coastal Reserve is such a beautiful location. With the Brighton Beachfront Holiday Park and Seacliff Surf Club on one side and the Marino Coastal Trail walking trail on the other, the surrounds are just beautiful. Kids will love exploring all around the park, and although the playground equipment itself is relatively small, there are tennis courts and plenty of large play spaces to investigate and enjoy. This really is the perfect place for a birthday party, Easter Egg event or Christmas get-together. In front of the playground is the southern end of Seacliff beach and this is THE BEST place for kids to search rock pools, discover sea creatures and jump from rock to rock- basically they will have an absolute ball! Facilities: BBQ and eating area (under shelter) Playground Huge grassed areas to play and explore 2 public-use tennis courts Toilets (no baby change facility in toilets) Native Spring Close to the beach Things to note: The playground is not under shade cover and it isn’t fenced. However, the car park and road is quite far from the playground. The Marino Rocks Cafe has absolutely to die for fish…

Find it at: Price Ave, Clapham A small but well-maintained fully fenced and dog-friendly park.Play equipment includes monkey bars, a slide, a seesaw, a climbing wall and two swings. There’s also enough grassed area for a game of cricket, football, soccer, frisbee or whatever activity takes your fancy. There are no toilets or BBQs but it does have two tables with benches if you’d like to bring your own snacks. The reserve is popular with kookaburras, and if you’re lucky you can even spot a koala from time to time.
