Find it at: The Esplanade, Semaphore
Semaphore Foreshore is set for an incredible redevelopment, which will include a brand new playground (which will replace the existing playground below). The revised Master Plan is open for community consultation until 19 May 2024, but check out some of the concept images below. We are loving the proposed new activity hub (new playground to be built next to this), and water play!

Keep reading for info on the existing playground.
The existing Semaphore playground is right in the middle of the Semaphore Foreshore Reserve and bordered by The Fort Glanville Train Rides, The Semaphore Carousel, bustling Semaphore Road and of course the beach and jetty. Don’t forget the great kiosk which is always open right at the gate, plus the train rides depart all from the one central location.
The playground is undercover and fully fenced with lots of climbing equipment, a flying fox, slides and tunnels. It truly is one of the nicest playground locations in Adelaide, right in the heart of the Semaphore entertainment precinct.
What we liked about this playground
- The location which is sensational on a sunny day in summer or winter. There’s lots of other things to see and do in this area so makes a great park to visit for the whole day.
- It’s shady and fully fenced
- Really clean
- Kiosk right there for coffee, food, icecreams and more
- Skate park
- BBQ facilities
- Fantastic beach path perfect for a stroll, bike ride, scootering. A great spot to learn how to ride a bike as you don’t need to worry about cars.
- Public toilets close by
- Lots of parking available
- Nice big grassy area next door, great place for a birthday party.

Find it at: Rodgers Terrace, Maitland On the corner of Rogers Terrace and Robert St in Maitland there is a great combination playground. It boasts both the typical metal/plastic style playground with a large wooden climbing section. There is a spinning ride (although beware after rain as it fills with water), swings, a big slide, a digger and climbing equipment. It is surrounded by fence for most of the playground with just a small gap for entering (not secure). It has a car park, shaded seating, a free bbq, a double cricket pitch and it's just a short walk to nearby toilets.Fun for the whole family!

Find it at: Norman Road, Aldinga Beach Ah Silver Sands. God's country this is. One of the best spots along our coast for beautiful beaches, incredible views and serenity. Also not far from the Victory Hotel which is a fab spot for lunch. But did you know apart from all the natural wonder there is also a great little kids playground, located right on the beach front opposite the Aldinga Bay SLSC. With a nautical theme (naturally), this one is best suited to the under 10s with a few swings and some small boat-themed climbing equipment with a slide. It is a great spot for a BBQ with shaded facilities to cook and eat, plus toilets too. There is no shade over the playground and it isn't fenced to any great degree from the nearby car park What a fabulous way to let the kids play after a day at one of Adelaide's best beaches!

Find it at: Park Cres, Brighton We do love ourselves a fully fenced playground and this one at Brighton is little, but covered by lots of natural shade and has equipment suited for the under 5s. It's located in a quiet area and is surrounded by a nice size grass area where you can have more of a run around, kick a ball or have a picnic.
