Located right next on the beach front on Marine Parade, the location is sensational. It was a fun playground with many play options to keep the kids busy after a big day exploring Yorkes. It has pebble flooring, 2 public bbq’s, plenty of seating and an incredible beach view. Oh the view! The park boasts fencing on 3 sides and an easy to supervise access point of the 4th side, with easy access to stairs down to the beautiful beach.
There are plenty of rubbish bins and shaded seating. The only downsides are that the park itself isn’t shaded and public toilets are across the road, behind the Town Hall. One last bonus is that there is a kiosk right next to the playground to grab a nice cold ice block on those super hot days. Come on, we know you can imagine eating hot chips while the kids play on the playground and beach! Bliss.
Find it at: Victoria Terrace, Port Victoria A stunning beachside playground with lots to choose from. A challenging experience for little ones with rock climbing walls, balancing paths and lots of climbing. There is seating nearby and toilets are a short walk away (near the jetty). The BBQ costs a couple of dollars so if you want to cook bring some gold coins. After your play I'd recommend taking the stairs down to the beach and either taking a walk or climbing the rocks. We walked under the jetty and there was a lot to see. A local cafe is perfect for a snack if you haven't brought anything along. Plenty of car parks.
There’s something pretty special about a playground with a giant old flour mill as its backdrop! Harts Mill is tucked right beside the Port River in the heart of Port Adelaide, and the setting alone makes it worth a visit. But the playground is what really keeps the kids busy, with plenty of unusual equipment to climb, spin, swing and zoom around on. It’s a great one for kids who like to try something a little different, and being right on the waterfront means you can turn playground time into a bigger Port Adelaide adventure with a wander along the river afterwards. Keep an eye out for dolphins too — they’re sometimes spotted cruising past! Find it at: Mundy Street, Port Adelaide. Good for: Toddlers through to primary-aged kids, with a mixture of equipment for little explorers and bigger kids looking for more of a challenge. Best for: Climbing, spinning, swinging, sand play and flying fox fun. There are also some wonderfully quirky pieces of equipment that you don't see at every playground, which is part of the appeal. Toilets: Yes. Public toilets are located on Mundy Street, close to the playground. Shade: Yes. There is a large sheltered area…
Find it at: Esplanade, Port Noarlunga How about this stunning playground location! Located at the top of the Esplanade cliff between Port Noarlunga and Christies Beach (Right next door to the Port Noarlunga RSL - Free 8 ball and video games by the way), this great little playground is a fantastic way to let the kids burn off some beach energy while you enjoy the breathtaking views. With lots of space, some modern equipment to climb on with enough to keep the little kids and bigger kids entertained (oh and some fitness equipment if you get the urge...must say I never have!), it is a fave with the locals this one. Lots of parking both on the street and in car parks, with toilets available at the RSL too. There is a BBQ and shelter and enough grassed area to bring a footy for a kick (to be honest this is kite country. Bring one!)
