Find it at: Corner of Graves and Hay Street, Kadina
Some people think this is the best playground on the Yorke Peninsula, and we’d have to agree it would certainly be up there! This play space is divided into two areas. The main kids playground area is located in one corner of the park
The main playground is; – Totally shaded – Fully fenced – Close to onsite toilets – Has “access for all ramps” that are wheelchair accessible – Equipment in the fenced section includes swings, slides, climbing and balancing, monkey bars, bridges, ladders. There’s lots to keep little ones very happy!
Oh and just in case the play equipment isn’t enough, this park also has a FULL SIZE TRAIN with a ramp to jump in the back. All aboard the Apex Express!
The main attraction of Victoria Park though has got to he the new Treetop Playground that adventurous kids will LOVE! It was completed in late 2018 with a climbing net to the top (9 meters up) and an epic steep, twisty and bendy slide. It’s pretty awesome! It’s located at the other side of the park near the rotunda (don’t worry you won’t miss it) It’s not far from the fenced playground, but probably far enough that you couldn’t watch kids in both areas at the same time. Facilities include onsite toilets and parents room, BBQs, shaded picnic/seating areas and great parking. It’s also in the heart of town, right near the local shops so you can grab a coffee, snacks, drinks etc and make a day of it.
Kadina is about 2 hours from Adelaide at the top of Yorke Peninsula, around 20 minutes from Moonta to the South
Find it at: Victoria Terrace, Port Victoria A stunning beachside playground with lots to choose from. A challenging experience for little ones with rock climbing walls, balancing paths and lots of climbing. There is seating nearby and toilets are a short walk away (near the jetty). The BBQ costs a couple of dollars so if you want to cook bring some gold coins. After your play I'd recommend taking the stairs down to the beach and either taking a walk or climbing the rocks. We walked under the jetty and there was a lot to see. A local cafe is perfect for a snack if you haven't brought anything along. Plenty of car parks.
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: Stansbury Rd, Yorketown Yorketown Playground is absolutely massive and there is something for everyone. When you arrive you'll notice there's plenty of parking, there's an information booth for the area and some unique art around the place. Once you've parked you'll see a large playground area, a toilet block, a bbq with a shaded seating area and a short walk away, a big lake. We decided to check out the lake first and on our walk down there, discovered nature play spaces for climbing and exploring as well as many little creatures for children to take delight in. The lake is beautiful and there are walking paths you can take. Once back at the playground you will discover a Loch Ness Monster, flower photo booth, challenging play equipment for all ages and a stunning artwork of 2 rosellas. We stayed and played for well over an hour as it's perfect for kids and big kids (if you get my drift ;-))
