Find it at: Sturt Ave, Colonel Light Gardens
Mortlock Park in Colonel Light Gardens had a fab upgrade in 2021.
Located right next to Colonel Light Primary School and across the oval from the Goodwood Baseball Club. With equipment perfect for toddlers to upper primary school kids there is sure to be something to suit most. Lets scroll through our highlights from the upgrade….
– Lots of climbing webs/ nets, monkey bars & swinging beams
– Giant xylophone, in ground trampoline & four way seesaw
– Merry go round/ in ground spinny thing (thats the technical playground analyst term for it) goes REALLY FAST!
– Seated flying fox
– Toilets!!!!!
– Two different slides of different sizes
The new section is definitely more suited to older kids (5+), but all of the old section is still there which has plenty of play options for toddlers. There are obviously still lots of room for ball games with the ovals next door & the bike jumps are still there too.
Just South-West of the play equipment (walk past the hall) on the edge of the oval is an awesome little BMX track. Depending on riding ability, we think the BMX track is perfect for beginners or those aged up to 8-9 years old.
Parking for the Mortlock Park playground is best in the small off street carpark off West Parkway, or on West Parkway itself.

Image credit: City of Playford This park is part of a nature reserve, with a small playground that includes a slide, spinner, swings and some cool climbing/balancing equipment Image credit: City of Playford It's a great area for a run around, kick of the ball or somewhere you can sit with the dog (on leash) while the kids have a play Image credit: City of Playford There's not many facilities around though, a bench seat and a rubbish bin is about it. No toilets or shade Thanks to Amy for this playground review 36 Seavington Road, Elizabeth Park[wpgmza id="138" cat="1" marker="559" zoom="16"]
