This playground has been recently upgraded and includes some great new features! Flying fox (ideal for 3+, it has a bit of a jolt at the end, so make sure little hands can hold on) Baby and toddler swings, plus "big kids" swing and swinging basket 2 playground structures, one aimed more at 1-3 year olds and one for 3+ A 'spinning wheel' with 3 grip bars that the kids spent AGES on. A big hit! Key features we also liked were... Bike path running from Glenelg (or further south if you're keen!) to Henley (or further north if you're very fit!) Lots of space to park Plenty of grass to enjoy a picnic upon and some benches to rest, breast feed etc. Easy access directly to beautiful West beach Things to note: The toilets are located a short walk from the playground, which is something to think about if you have multiple children or a toilet training toddler who needs to go "NOW!" Make sure you pack hats as there's minimal shade over the flying fox, swings and grassy area

Find it at: Wheatsheaf Road, Morphett Vale The amazing $2.2 million nature playspace, located on the corner of Wheatsheaf and States Roads at Morphett Vale, has been designed for people of all ages to get outdoors and engage with nature. Nature themes are featured as a tribute to the site’s importance for Kaurna people, and the site’s history as a working farm from the 1840s to 1960s. Stunning public art by local Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna and Yankunytjatjara artist Allan Sumner is scattered throughout the playspace. There are two main areas, one for toddlers and younger kids and one for older kids, making it a great spot for the whole family. The junior space is fully fenced (YES!) and features a Hills to Beach creative sand and water play area and a play farm area complete with wooden tractor and sheep rockers. This area also has a number of different swings, slides, seesaw and lots of sensory hands on play that we LOVE. Older kids will also love this park with some very decent climbing structures, ropes course, awesome slide tower, wooden forts and a double flying fox. One of the seat is a bucket style for younger kids so siblings can…
