Find it at: Young Street, Reynella
The Onkaparinga council have just completed an upgrade of the Thomas Young Reserve in Reynella. The newly developed playground has a flying fox, a Gumnut cubby house, climbing ropes, a small slide, a digger and sandpit, 2 swings, a round net swing and a new basketball half court plus plenty of space to kick a footy or soccer ball.
Unfortunately there are no toilets facilities and only one gazebo without barbeque facilities but a great stop for the kids to burn some energy while you’re out and about down south.
No big fancy climbing structures here, but we love the unique equipment spread out over the beautiful reserve allowing the kids to roam around and explore.

Find it at: Castle Street, Reynella This little hidden gem is full of things to do, you can easily spend a day here! Theres newly refurbished tennis courts that you can access, as well as basketball courts to practice on. So much open area for nature walks and picnics. Great little playground aimed at 3-8 year olds, but most importantly a huge flying fox for all ages. The best part of this place is the bike/scooter track which has all the usual road signs and traffic lights so the kids can practice their road rules. Theres also a book which explains each of the signs. Theres a funky amenities block, bbq and undercover seating. So grab a coffee at the nearby Southgate Plaza and head on down.

How great is this? Onkaparinga Libaries will be delivering Auslan Interpreted sessions of their Toddlertime (18m-3 yrs) & Storytime (3-5yrs) session across March - July 2022! "Having the Auslan interpreters at our Storytime and Toddlertime sessions will provide an opportunity for the Deaf community and the Hard of Hearing community to participate and will provide equal access to literacy and communication for all community members." said Woodcroft Library Team Leader, Kathrin Davidson. The sessions will also be recorded & added to the online library so you can access them at home. Storytime and Toddlertime are fun, interactive sessions designed to encourage a love of reading for children using stories, nursery rhymes and activities.
