Located right behind the OG Hotel this playground is great for all ages. The play equipment is quite spread out but has a handy area for the little ones, some nature play aspects , flying fox , slides and loads and loads of climbing pieces. The climbing pieces are the main attraction of this play space and are great for a wide range of ages and abilities. Featuring lots of equipment to climb up, over, and through – from monkey rings, ropes, spider webs, rock climbing – it has it all. Lots of energy to be burned and lots of challenges along the way. Certainly can’t get bored quickly in this area of the playground.
The playground also features a mound slide where the kids climb the peak to use the slide. Located right next to the slide is a double flying fox that has 2 seats including a safety seat with buckle. This allows the smaller kids or kids with disabilities to also have a go. Next to the climbing frames the kids will also find a swing set along with a spinning wheel.
The smaller kids’ equipment area is all together and will keep the little ones happy. Brightly coloured it includes a swing set including baby swing, a dual slippery dip, some smaller climbing pieces including a small tunnel along with a bouncy animal. All with a nice soft landing.
As a bonus, the reserve also has cricket nets, public tennis courts, lots of space to ride scooters or bikes and has lots of grassed area for the kids to play ball or run around on. There are picnic table with shelter and BBQs to use and across the grass a there is a toilet. There is a car park located off OG road and whilst there is a fence covering OG road unfortunately it is not FULLY fenced on the other side. The play equipment is SHADED. Pack a picnic or why not head to the OG pub right behind the reserve for lunch.

Where: 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.

Where: 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.
