Find it at: McFarlane Street, Glenelg North (just off Tapley’s Hill Road)
Combine a fantastic playground with all the facilities you will need, with a bit of local history, and you have the Old Gum Tree historic site and playground at Glenelg.
With 3 seperate undercover areas to cater for multiple groups at one time, scattered around a spacious area shaded by huge (probably gum) trees, this is the perfect spot for your family gathering or just an afternoon play.
It is fully fenced, although the surrounding streets aren’t very busy anyway, plus it has toilets and 2 BBQs.
More importantly though is the flying fox. We have tried a lot of flying foxes but not many have 2 cables, one with your usual rope but the other with a chair with harness! Such a great idea to include every kid who wants to have a go. Add in a couple of swings, a slide and a rope climb and kids of all ages will love the very modern and updated equipment.
Don’t forgot to take a look at the Old Gum Tree site and learn why our basketball team is called the 36ers!

Find it at: Moseley Square Glenelg The Glenelg Foreshore Playground is SO good and we have absolutely loved visiting (along with most of Adelaide!) since it opened. With the seasonal addition of the Giant Wheel, from about October to April, it makes for a brilliant day out! It's a great mixture of beach surrounds, fun for young and old kids, and the move towards 'nature play' areas. Highlights include: water play area into the sand, huge metal slide, in-ground mini trampolines, climbing frames, water fountains, grassed areas and nearby cafes!Pro Tip - bring a change of clothes for when the kids inevitably get wet! In terms of practicality, the Glenelg Foreshore Playground offers these key features: Near by toilets Cafes/eateries Beach Shaded spaces Seating for feeding/resting (Ha! Who rests?! No parent I know!) Grassy area Nature play, Water play, Imaginative play Climbing, building, swinging, balancing, sliding

Playground and coffee dates have never (ever ever) looked better. Like a good cup of Joe with a side serve of fresh air, exercise and epic playground all in one stop? The kids are going to lose their minds over the good quality simple milkshakes and treats at this place. You are going to love the ample parking, the entertainment factor (um hello exceptionally good playground adjacent at Wigley Reserve), the room to run around, toilets on precinct and the proximity just a stones throw to watch boats come and go from the marina lock! Throw in a really lovely hospitality family who run the show here (and also up the road at the bigger West Beach Eatery) and you have an entire low cost half day outing sorted. Its also the perfect Glenelg meeting point, minus the hustle and bustle of Jetty Road, but close enough if you also want to throw that in the mix! We have continued to call past this top spot over the last couple of years for the consistently good coffee and banter. The kiosk opened in late November 2020 by the talented family also behind local venues West Beach Patisserie & Eatery Fair…
