Find it at: Glade Crescent, Hallett Cove
This playspace is located just off Quailo Avenue at Glade Crescent Reserve, Hallett Cove is a wonderful space for varying ages. We visited on the weekend with our 2-year-old and she loved it!
The park is divided into two sections, one for juniors and one for seniors so there’s something for all ages here.
The junior side has 3 slides of different heights and widths. There’s a train to play in and a few different types of toddler swings. The slides are shaded so no burnt bums going down!
The senior playground has a great flying fox that is the highlight and also has lots of nature based items to balance and climb on. There’s a big sandpit and even a really fun bike/scooter path, so pack your wheels!
There’s lots of space and shade here. Plenty of seating, tables, water fountains and a couple of BBQs. A great spot for a birthday party.
A toilet is located on the Quailo Avenue side of the reserve.

Find it at: Central Avenue, Hallett Cove A fabulous new addition to the City of Marion's range of playspaces opened up in March 2021, with the brand spanking new playground at Central Avenue Reserve. Using the site's slope to the fullest advantage, the highlight here is a super quick flying fox which takes kids (and parents!) from the rock-climb inspired slide playground and basketball court, right down to the sand play and shelter area at the bottom. The climbing playground is a really unique set up here too, with a variety of climbing challenges for the older kids (but it isn't too high to rule out the younger ninja's either. Make it to the top and the kids will travel to the bottom in a nice little tube slide. Great stuff! There is plenty of lawn surrounded by trees and you will find balance beams and wooden log steppers throughout he reserve too, as well as a swing set including baby swing. Chuck in some shaded areas and a brand new BBQ and this is a fantastic facility for the locals. No toilets at this one sadly.

Find it at: Shamrock Road, Hallett Cove Nestled amongst the neighbourhood of Hallett Cove and located right next to the Hallett Cove train station and tennis courts this playground has just had an upgrade and it looks fabulous. With a mixture of a few pieces of equipment, water and nature play this is a great spot for the local kids to hang out for the school holidays. The long tube green tunnel slide is the first thing you see as you arrive to the park and is set up high on a mound. The kids need to climb the rock stairs to reach it. Our 2 year old surprisingly climbed the stairs and rode the long slide with confidence and laughter several times. The coloured talking tubes are a fun feature of the park and the nest swing was flying high when we visited. The nature and water play include a water pump nestled on a small mound that is accessed by stairs created by large rocks and allows the water to flow down into a small valley that the kids can play in. So may we suggest a change of clothes. There are also lots of logs and coloured…
