Find it at: Southbank Blvd, Sheidow Park

Southbank Boulevard Reserve, Sheidow Park is a wonderful park for kids parties and toddler fun following an upgrade in mid 2026. The surrounding streets are fairly quiet, and there is an amazing view from the playground over the ocean. Just beautiful!

Perched up on the hill with beautiful ocean views, this neighbourhood playground already ticks plenty of boxes:
✔️ fenced play space
✔️ slides, swings and climbing
✔️ toilets nearby
✔️ shaded BBQ areas
✔️ heaps of grass to run around
✔️ great spot for parties and picnics

The old playground has long been popular with local families thanks to its mix of toddler-friendly play, open space and relaxed setting, and the upgrade is a welcome face lift!

  • Find it at: Kooralla Grove, Kidman Park What a great little park this one is. With a fantastic range of play equipment, including some reasonably challenging climbing equipment to a playground with an enclosed twirly slide, this has something for most ages. It even has a heap of outdoor gym equipment but lets be honest, apart from sitting on the ski swingy one, nobody has ever used any of it....or is that just us? No toilets is the only let down here, but it has a BBQ, seating, a mix of toddler and traditional swings, several slides and is a really beautiful spot. There is no fencing but the river is about 100m away and it is in a nice quiet back street so you shouldn't have many issues.

  • 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.
