Find it at: Mulcra Avenue, Park Holme
Well this was a pleasant surprise when I stumbled across this lovely little local play space nestled in the streets of Park Holme near Morphettville.
Based on a nice sized grass area the instant attraction to this playground is the separated areas that cater for a variety of ages. The first thing you notice set back off the road is the play area situated towards the centre of the park, which is built around a mound. Fabulous for the adventurous ones who want to climb the rocks or use the designated steps to reach the top.
On each side of the mound is a slippery dip, one dual slide and 1 single. Around the base of the mound this area of park also features a sand play area and a spider web climbing frame along with a swing set with baby seat and regular seat.
As you move back closer towards the street the playground features a cute little toddler area. My 16 month old loved this area.
Our favourite piece of equipment here was most definitely the big purple wobbly bus. I can tell you right now there are only so many times you can sing the wheels on the bus with enthusiasm. Also in this area you will find a mini spinning wheel and a one other piece of equipment.
Behind the toddler area is a basketball/tennis court so lots of areas to cater for a variety of ages. Plus it also has lots of grass to run around on as well.
Unfortunately this is very much a local park as there are NO toilets, NO shade and NO fence.
Such a shame as I love this playground area. I find it a little quirky and a little different to other playgrounds. Worth a look if you are looking at nearby playgrounds at Hendrie St or Appleby Road Reserve

Wow this is a huge area for the kids to run wild and let off some energy. With the new playground upgrade in June 2017 this reserve/playground/skate park is worth the visit. As soon as I got to the gate I was super excited to see the colourful equipment painted green and orange that awaits you. The bright equipment is a fabulous add to this existing skate park. A multi level climbing tower is the main structure to this playground and caters for all ages First level is for the little ones and has a little slide whilst the big kids can keep climbing the tower and enjoy the tubular slide that looks like a small water slide. Along with the colourful tower this playground has a swing set including a baby swing, a little see saw, a climbing area with monkey bars and a few other pieces for the little ones to play on with most pieces protected by the shade cloth. Not far from the play equipment you will find fitness equipment, followed by a basketball ring then the Skate park. Look further a field and right down the other end of this reserve is a cricket net,…

Find it at: Yorktown Road, Elizabeth Park 'Dwight Reserve', located on the corner of Yorktown and Adams Rd is a nice little spot for the locals with some cool equipment and a HEAP of space. It has a car park, shaded seating, park benches, rubbish bins and a large oval nearby (bring the footy or a kite!). It doesn't have secure fencing or toilets but is great for a quick play after school or a picnic on the weekend. I do love the multi-ring basketball bucket...sort of reminds me of Greenhills at Victor Harbor and beating my brother when we were kids! So make sure you pack the car with ALL of the balls, kites and frizbees. There is also a fabulous pump track which is more than suitable for the little kids and those who are still finding their feet (or wheels!), so make sure you pack the bikes.
