Spruance Playground in Elizabeth East is a beautiful, clean and well maintained park with plenty of adult seating, bbq facilities and a filtered water fountain for drinking.
It includes 4 different types of swings (A baby seat, your regular flat swing, a harnessed swing and a nest swing).
Older children will enjoy Spruance Playground’s large climbing net (with a slide coming off the netting), 2 individual trampolines at ground level and lots of natural climbing logs and large stepping stones.
There’s also a grassed area with small hills to run up and down or roll down. There is also a blackboard so don’t forget to bring the chalk!
Just behind the Spruance Playground is access to a community tennis court and basketball court (you’ll need to bring your own sports gear to play though).
There are bbq facilities, shade and ample parking -plus a deli across the road should you want to grab a drink, snack or some lunch. The only downfall is that there are no toilets nearby.
Spruance playground is located on the corner of Spruance Road and Midway Road, Elizabeth East.

Find it at: South Terrace, Adelaide The Princess Elizabeth Playground is fantastic for all ages, from toddlers up to adults. Located on South Terrace opposite Willcox St in the city, it is definitely a big favourite with us (and most of Adelaide judging by numbers!). It is one of many well-equipped kids playgrounds in this area and reopened in late 2014 after a complete upgrade. There is so much to do, and the park is a huge hit with kids and parents alike. There is heaps of awesome new equipment, ranging from the very popular mini-trampolines and large climbing net, spinning swing, pod swing and an amazing medieval looking castle complete with a twisting tunnel slide. The opportunities for kids to get their imaginations going are endless. There are also more swings, see-saws, spring rockers and a large multi-play structure including monkey bars, climbing ropes, wobbly platform boards and sliding poles. The HUGE downside in my opinion is that it isn't fully fenced and there are nearby busy roads (and take extra care when events like the Royal Show are on because cars will be driving on the playing fields close by) - I know it encourages people to get…

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: Pederick Road, Lewiston It's a beautiful playground in such a quiet area. There is little traffic passing by and its enclosed. The playground is in good repair, clean and lots of fun for a range of ages. There is a bbq area with plenty of undercover seating, rubbish bins and a public toilet. The carpark is off the road and has plenty of space and there's even a wetlands walking track. Whilst there we noticed that previous families had taken chalk and done drawing on the brick pathways so that's another idea for keeping the children entertained. There is also a grassy area for ball play. It's definitely somewhere I'll be taking my family for a picnic in the future.
