Located on the River Torrens this reserve in Grange caters for a few different age groups and has 2 separate play spaces as part of the same reserve. As you first arrive at the car park you will see play equipment more suited to older kids featuring a stand up flying fox, climbing structure that includes various rope climb obstacles, a mini rock climb wall that all lead to the platform to get down the slide. This play area also has swings including a nest and baby swing along with a couple of brightly coloured spinning tops the little ones can enjoy.
As you venture a little further along the path there is a smaller toddler play area that features a cool pirate ship theme with lookout, mini tunnel and slide. You will also find a bright coloured fun roundabout along with another swing set. Its kind of cool for the little kids to have their own space so the older kids feel they have a bit of their own freedom but can still be seen from a distance.
Kirkcaldy Reserve also features a half basketball court and is great for riding bikes and scooters as well as feeding the ducks. Unfortunately this playground is NOT fenced and you need to be careful with little ones as its close to the river. It has toilets near the toddler play equipment, shaded picnic/BBQ area but NO shade over play equipment.
A nice little play area to cater for all the family, just be sure to keep a close eye on the kids with the nearby river.

Find it at: Kooralla Grove, Kidman Park What a great little park this one is. With a fantastic range of play equipment, including some reasonably challenging climbing equipment to a playground with an enclosed twirly slide, this has something for most ages. It even has a heap of outdoor gym equipment but lets be honest, apart from sitting on the ski swingy one, nobody has ever used any of it....or is that just us? No toilets is the only let down here, but it has a BBQ, seating, a mix of toddler and traditional swings, several slides and is a really beautiful spot. There is no fencing but the river is about 100m away and it is in a nice quiet back street so you shouldn't have many issues.

Find it at: George Street, Marion The City of Marion have opened up yet another fabulous playground (they are really setting the standard aren't they), this time a spacious playground at George Street. With an in-ground trampoline, swing, sandpit, water pump and 2 historical-themed cubby houses, including a village store and a workers cottage, this one is really cool. There’s also a miniature fire pole, slide and logs to jump on and an upgraded 3-on-3 basketball and netball court. There's plenty of space (the oval and footy goals are just fantastic) for your doggo to run around, as well as a sheltered BBQ area. Oh and did we mention there are toilets? Because there are! We really enjoyed this one and there was plenty for our older boys to climb and swing around on, whilst also offering enough to keep the young ones entertained.
