Find it at: Solandra Cr, Modbury North

Pack up the change of clothes kids, we are going to sand and water play nirvana! Solandra Reserve out at Modbury North has had a fab upgrade, with the space transformed into a brilliant community facility. Featuring the already mentioned sand and water play features (undercover too we might add!), chuck in a great little pump track and a range of equipment to suit the big kids and little ones, this one will definitely be getting a return visit.

Toilets are not yet in place but we are lead to believe they are coming soon, so fingers crossed for that one. Don’t forget to pack all the balls for the huge grassed area and if you are after a coffee, it is a stones throw from Tea Tree Plaza! Bliss! Pack a lunch to cook up on the BBQ and make a day of it. It isn’t fenced but its tucked away in relatively quiet side streets so no massive issues there.

This really is one of those ‘stay for an hour or 2’ type of playgrounds, with so much to do for the under 8s especially. Check out the map and get out there!

It can be hard finding activities that they actually WANT to do and aren't too cool for, right?! When you're looking for activities to do with your tweens and teens, you probably want to make sure they tick three key boxes: They aren't too expensive (so they can bring a friend perhaps) Keep them mentally or physically active (so you can avoid the dreaded, "I'm bored. This sucks.") Something that is supervised, but where you could still allow them their "independence" while keeping an eye on them!

  • Toddlers are busy, toddlers are fun, when they throw a tantrum you’ll just want to run! Toddlers can be hard work, but can also be SO MUCH fun. Give them the right space and it’s so entertaining (and also very important) to just let them free and watch them learn, experience, climb, run, fall, work out and try again. Finding that safe space can be tricky though and a fully fenced playground, shallow spot for a splash on a hot day, a cafe with a great play corner or a venue that caters for toddler needs is like finding gold in them thar hills. Here’s our top 10 ways to keep your toddlers happy, entertained and having fun in Adelaide

  • Ever wanted to tell your family to GET LOST? Well, now you can - in the best way possible! Kids In Adelaide were recently gifted the game GETTING LOST to try and we are here to tell you, it is a HEAP of fun and a great way to explore your own suburb or somewhere completely new! It really is simple - you pick your pack depending on the type of adventure you want. There are heaps to choose from, including a cycling edition, girls road trip, Aussie edition, summer edition, even a wellbeing pack! Then jump in the car (or on your bike, on the footpath, etc etc!), appoint someone as the official card reader and start turning over the cards (aptly named 'misdirection cards!') to see where you need to go or what you need to do! So what type of instructions can you expect? When we played, we had cards such as "drive to a house you used to live in, or an old workplace", "stop for a treat", "have a play on the nearest playground", "follow a blue car" and "hang a right at the next servo".
