Find it at: Carrick Hill Drive, Mitcham
If you have a future ninja warrior in the house, check out the Ninja Course Playground at McElligott’s Reserve in Springfield.
Mitcham Council have installed a boulder climb, rope net wall, commando bar climb and an electronic stopwatch wall to time yourself against the kids! This will no doubt coincide with an increase in soft tissue injuries presenting at the local physios, but thats what being a parent is all about isn’t it!
It also includes a shade structure, new paved path and exercise equipment. There is plenty of grassed area for a picnic or a kick and a catch, so pack the usual playground supplies. You will find some shelter and seating plus a BBQ, making this a pretty sweet little party park, but the lack of toilets is a let down. Adults can pretend they will use the exercise the equipment, which we all know will never happen.
A stone’s throw from Carrick Hill, this is a pretty spectacular part of Adelaide with some sensational views around if you explore the nearby Quarry hiking trails.
