How good is a fully fenced playground! Luckily we have heaps of fully fenced playgrounds & playspaces all over Adelaide, so if your little one is a runner (we sympathise!)check out the options below where you can take your toddler for a play without worrying that they will escape or get too close to the road. Fully fenced playgrounds are also great for group catch ups with lots of kids, as it’s sooooo much easier to keep an eye on everyone in a contained area. So no matter where you or your friends live in Adelaide or across South Australia, get a group together & head to one of these ripper fully fenced playgrounds for your next day out!
