Find it at: The Parkway, Fulham Garden
Located directly behind Target at Fulham Gardens this playground can’t be missed with its bright orange play equipment. With a little something for everyone, the favourite and most obvious piece of equipment is quite a steep tubular slide with the BIG smiley face at the end. Located either side of the tubular slide are 2 more slides with slightly gentler slopes, leaving the kids with a lot of sliding choice.
The main play piece has lots of climbing parts, including a rope net, mini combat, mini climbing wall , stairs poles and lots more. The play area also features a swing set, including a toddler swing, along with a large sand pit with hop on digger for the little ones to use. Situated around the play equipment you will also see little pockets of nature play for the kids to play on including stumps, rocks and lots of grass and trees around.
This playground has no toilets, shade ( besides the trees ) or fence so is very much a local playground or a quick place to drop into if you are in the area. There is a coffee shop in the Target complex along with a Foodland for coffee, drinks or snacks.

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.

Find it at: Phillip Avenue, Leabrook This quaint little neighbourhood playground is nestled in the quiet suburb of Leabrook and the was upgraded in 2024. Fully fenced and whilst there is no shade provided, the playground is situated under some beautiful big old gum trees that do provide some protection from the sun. There are also a few smaller trees around the edge off the grassed area that provide small amounts of shade for those wanting a small picnic space . This park is more suitable for toddlers. Unfortunately no toilets or BBQ facilities are located in this park. Thanks for City of Burnside of the images.
