Take a morning splash at one of Adelaide’s Free Water Play Areas
Water play areas are a common addition to new playgrounds that have been built recently. We love Tusmore Park Pool, Glenelg Foreshore, Marshmallow Park, Hendrie St Reserve and Playford Alive Town Park for a quick splash before the sun really heats up in the afternoon.

Stay at home and try some icey fun craft
Make one of these fun ice activities for kids – my favourite is hiding the kids’ matchbox cars and dinosaurs in a icecream container of water. Freeze it and give the kids some salt water or safe kitchen tools and watch them spend hours trying to get their precious toys out!

Image credit: City of Playford This park is part of a nature reserve, with a small playground that includes a slide, spinner, swings and some cool climbing/balancing equipment Image credit: City of Playford It's a great area for a run around, kick of the ball or somewhere you can sit with the dog (on leash) while the kids have a play Image credit: City of Playford There's not many facilities around though, a bench seat and a rubbish bin is about it. No toilets or shade Thanks to Amy for this playground review 36 Seavington Road, Elizabeth Park[wpgmza id="138" cat="1" marker="559" zoom="16"]

Find it at: West Terrace, Adelaide Fantastic news skater fans, FINALLY, after being left skatepark-less since 2013, construction is complete and the brand new $3.8 million dollar Adelaide City Skate Park is now open to the public! Located at Narnungga Gladys Elphick Park (Park 25) or the corner of Glover Avenue and West Terrace, it's already an incredibly popular facility with Adelaide skaters and riders. This is South Australia's largest skate park and offers something for all ability levels. There's a freestyle area, beginner bowl and advanced bowl. Lots of grinding rails and ledges, stair sets and a large bowl featuring a pretty imposing vertical cradle. Plenty of shady spots to sit and spectate with the new park designed to be inclusive and provide viewing areas for everyone to enjoy. There's an onsite water station and lights for night skating. The lights are automatically dimmed from sunset to sunrise, but can be fully lit for periods of one hour between sunset at 12:30am. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fu5AaKU91E
