Playford Town Park is a HUGE area opened in June 2015. Bring your bike, your scooter, your towel, your picnic blanket, footy, basketball and your BBQ gear and enjoy the whole day down here. The water play areas are the biggest draw card with 4 separate water play areas for the kids to explore and plenty of seating nearby for parents and friends to supervise the kids while they catch up in a great location. The playground itself boasts an incredibly wide slide as well as a tunnel slide, a sandpit and scoop, rock climbing, swings, a huge rope climbing structure, flying fox and more! There are also basketball courts and a skate park nearby. We’d love to see some accessible play equipment though. A liberty swing and other wheelchair accessible equipment would be great. There is also a great BBQ space for families or groups of friends to cook up a storm as well as an oval to kick the footy around.
Public toilets are available at The Stretton Centre or near the wetlands.
Just up the road (walking distance) is a small shopping complex so if you’ve forgotten the snags don’t worry – all is not lost!
High budget professionally finished skate park suitable for riders with advanced skill level. Large half pipe/capsules, spine transfers & bowl. Great transitions and accessible roll in entry for intermediate riders. Interesting skate plaza adjacent for street skaters and flatland tricks. Fantastic playground is right here too.

Find it at: Leonard Norman Drive, Waikerie Opened in December 2018 the Waikerie Water and Nature Play Park was the idea of local couple Clive and Donna Mathews who received a $150,000 Fund My Neighbourhood grant from the SA Government and also raised a further $100,000+ from the local Rotary Club, Council and Go Fund me campaign. (how good is that!). The playground also now includes an accessible roundabout for wheelchairs and an accessible swing. The park is in a beautiful location right on the riverfront. There's plenty of natural shade from the big trees surrounding the area and lots of space to run around, kick a ball or set up a picnic spot for the day. One of the most popular area of the park is the water play area which is great on a hot day, but remember to bring a change of clothes! The other equipment blends in beautifully with the surroundings and includes big rocks and wooden planks to balance on, a big wooden climbing tower, tunnels to hide in, sensory play zones, a variety of swings, slides, climbing nets, and a flying fox! Kids will also love climbing in and on the old beautifully painted…

No toilets or shade Thanks to Amy for this playground review 36 Seavington Road, Elizabeth Park[wpgmza id="138" cat="1" marker="559" zoom="16"]
