Find it at: Playford Road, Newton

Playford Road Reserve out at Newton was upgraded in late 2024 to provide a modern playspace with all the facilities needed for a great kids party or day out with the family.

The design completely re-imagined the site whilst meeting community desires and recreational needs. The design includes the following.

  • Disability accessible pathways
  • Accessible public toilet
  • New playground
  • Open turf area for ball sports, picnics and other recreation.
  • Tennis court and multi court
  • Off street parking
  • Removal of existing club rooms

With shade installed to complement the surrounding existing trees, plus a shelter with seating, once the planted saplings take hold this really will become a beautiful space.

We love the mix of nature play elements with the bright coloured slide (which given its a tube, it should avoid some of the summer heat).

Thanks to City of Campbelltown for the images.

  • Find it at: Flinders Parade, Newton Flinders Parade Reserve in Newton is a nice little spot for those in the area who have little ones who love to ride around, but want a safe space to do it. With a great bitumen riding track complete with traffic signs and a few little routes to take, located on a quiet back street this is a good addition to the usual small backstreet playground set up.  The playground right next to the track is a big modern set up with a couple of slides, some rope climbing and some cool little wheels for the little ones to spin and check out the patterns. A swing set and a big donut swing completes this small playground space, with shade only provided by the trees in the reserve. Sadly there are no real other facilities to give a shout out too, with no toilets, shade, BBQs or fencing to speak of. There is one little seating area to sit and watch the kids ride around the track, and there are also couple of logs that can kind of be used if needed. This is a real quiet spot, tucked away away from all the…
