Find it at: Trevor Terrace and Craigburn Road, Blackwood Who loves a double playground? Of course you do! Blackwood Hill Reserve, funnily enough located up in the backstreets of Blackwood next to the footy club, is a huge complex offering not only the use of the pristine footy club oval (dare say Saturdays it may be busy in winter though!), but cool little playgrounds on either side. What you might find cool like we did, is apart from the playgrounds and the oval, the Blackwood Hill Reserve is a great starting point to jump on the walking trails that wind around the area . Beautiful trees and scrub (nice and open though from what we saw if you…like me….are a snake scaredy cat) make it a top spot for a hike or to ride your bikes. Park where we did at the footy oval and the huge signs will clearly pan out your trek or ride if you want to give it a crack. The main playground is a beauty. Something a bit different which the kids loved. Fairly challenging (but not impossible) for Mr 5 and some good high ninja opportunities for the older kids, it was cool to…

Find it at: 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.
