Find it at: Brooker Terrace, Hilton
West Torrens Memorial Gardens are one of the city’s beautiful green spaces and are situated off Brooker Terrace next to the Cowandilla (Hamra) Library, and featured a great upgrade in 2018.
There are heaps of climbing and swinging options for those with little people who love to climb as much as ours do! We love the unique bridge which links the two sides of the playspace, allowing visitors to walk underneath. Very cool.
We love water play and we are looked after here with a water play area and a large sandpit – yay!
There are lots of different and interesting climbing options from the well loved spider’s web (above), to these dual abseiling /climbing ropes alongside the slide (below)
There is also plenty of green space in the West Torrens Memorial Gardens, with lots of established trees for shade.
SPINNERS!
The toilets are open during library hours, and there is a water fountain/bottle refill station. There are lots of shade trees, but much of the playground equipment isn’t under shade cover. Parking is along Brooker Terrace, at the library or street side nearby.

Find it at: Oval Road, Mount Torrens Put together by the talented team at Climbing Tree Consultancy (seriously they do some of the best playgrounds in SA), The Leckie Playground at Mt Torrens playground is another beauty. With plenty of natural shade, the lovely oval next door, bench seating, a picnic table, water play and some ripping nature play equipment for the kids to explore, this is a real winner. There aren't any toilets however which was a shame. We found it suitable for all ages and is just a relaxing, tranquil setting which is the ideal stop as you explore our beautiful Adelaide Hills.
