Heaps of parking at the shopping centre car park
Sheltered picnic table
Play equipment (including toddler swing, slide, swing set and some climbing equipment)

We also think rolling on the grass hill would be a great way to tire the kids out!

If your kids love a playground with a bit of a story to it, put this little bee-themed gem on your list! 🐝 Stanley Street Reserve has been cleverly designed around the world of native bees, with a giant hive-inspired climbing structure, bee sculptures, a pretend honey shop and hidden bee-themed details for kids to discover. It’s not a huge playground, but there’s plenty packed in, and younger kids in particular can have a great time exploring all the little spaces. A lovely local spot for a play when you want somewhere a little different. Find it at: 48 Stanley Street, Glengowrie. Good for: Toddlers through to primary-aged kids, particularly children who enjoy climbing, imaginative play and exploring. Best for: The bee-themed climbing structure, slides, swings, imaginative play and discovering all the little bee details around the playground.

Fenced: Yes, with a small opening behind the picnic shelter leading towards the tennis court. Accessible: Partly. There is an accessible merry-go-round and accessible access to this area, but the bark-chip…
Find it at: George Street, Marion The City of Marion have opened up yet another fabulous playground (they are really setting the standard aren't they), this time a spacious playground at George Street. With an in-ground trampoline, swing, sandpit, water pump and 2 historical-themed cubby houses, including a village store and a workers cottage, this one is really cool. There’s also a miniature fire pole, slide and logs to jump on and an upgraded 3-on-3 basketball and netball court. There's plenty of space (the oval and footy goals are just fantastic) for your doggo to run around, as well as a sheltered BBQ area. Oh and did we mention there are toilets? Because there are! We really enjoyed this one and there was plenty for our older boys to climb and swing around on, whilst also offering enough to keep the young ones entertained.
