    I remember coming down here as a kid because it was an adventure playground. Actually, I remember…read morefinding out able the place because of a map that I had picked up at a restaurant we had visited. Yeah, this place was okay, it was fun when I was a kid, but when I walked past it years later I have to admit that it wasn't all that great. Still, as a playground, it does have some charm, and does bring back some memories.

    I'm absolutely jealous with the residents in St Peters as they have one of the best playgrounds…read morehere. They have the longest slippery dip in this suburb and that's just not fair for some of us who would like something similar in our backyard. Welcome to adventure land. If you can't make it to St Kilda playground, this is kinda mini (double mini version) of St Kilda. A long slippery dip awaits you and it stretches all the way down. I've seen many parents enjoy a fun ride down the slide with their kids in tow. Huge wooden timber fort awaits you in this slippery dip as you call out your mates to join you here. You'll also find a horse riding swing equipment, fantastic swings, flying fox and wait for it.....a long suspension bridge which will guarantee hours of fun, giggles and a bit of butterflies in your tummy! Plenty of benches and plenty of picnic spots to throw a rug here. The only downside I found was the council should have planted more trees here as it can get pretty hot during summer and you don't want to end up with a toasty butt on your way down the slippery dip! Overall: I heart Dunstan Playground.

    This is so close to a 5 star, but a 5 star to me is the wooden playground or St Kilda, and this one…read moreis just not the same league as those, so had to go for 4. However it is where the Aldinga Community Centre is. There are toilets, including disabled ones, and water available. There is a kids playground on one side and a tennis court and a garden, presumably for the community centre. Around the far side near Ryan Avenue there is a dog agility course with tunnels and things to run up and hurdles. It's cool, even without a dog! There's also dog bags available on the fence. Over the Stewart Ave side there is a dirt BMX track and also a large skate park facility. Plus all around the oval area there are fitness stations. Looking by the size of them they are made for adults, way too high for kids. There is also a nice bright playground looking structure my child ran to saying "another playground!". I looked at it kind of confused for a minute then told him I thought it was actually part of the fitness facilities and not a kids playground. Lots of poles and climbing things but really high. Although they then had a couple of little ride on spring pieces of equipment in the same spot as well. There was also shelter and at least one BBQ I saw. Plenty of parking on site too. A good place for a day out with all aged people, but bring extra stuff like scooters, skateboards, balls, etc. to make it even more enjoyable and not run out of things to do.

    I am pretty sure I have borderline ADD, in fact in the time it has taken me to write this sentence…read moreI have started a jigsaw puzzle, done two push ups, drawn a funky doodle of a space ship and watched the first 5 minutes of Big Trouble in Little China. So it goes without saying that when I head to a park for a bit of exercise I expect V-A-R-I-E-T-Y! Unity park on South Terrace Pooraka has a plethora of fitness, sport and recreational options that even a 5 year old hyped up on Wizz Fizz and Red Bull would find it difficult to run out of options! Firstly, on the more subdued side, there are two lakes (which have reed beds and other water purification mumbo jumbo to help the enviroment) that are perfect for model sail boats or nitros enhanced remote controlled water madness machines. There are also some lovely tree lined walkes and open fields and I am boring myself! On to the fun stuff! Firstly the playground is crazy good, with plenty of equipment to keep the whipper snappers busy while you pump those pecks and glutes on the circuit training set up they have along side! Pull a hammi? Jump into the rubber hammock (which can also be used as an extreme swing). Feel like some fun that could find you in traction? Head on down the to eastern end of the park to check out the competition standard BMX track and the Skate Park.....Padding and helmets are apparently manditory....If you're a Sissy Girl with spokey dokeys on you bike wheels or tassles on your scooter handle bars! I'm off to play with my Lego now.

    9/01/2012 Photos First to Review Run, Jog, Walk or Sprint!…read more YEAHHH! There are two lakes in the beautiful suburb of Mawson Lakes and always inspires me to get off my lazy butt and go for a massive marathon run that allows you to be see all the different expensive new houses and go around the lakes! You may be asking: "Why do you want to do that yourself, D?" Well, for one thing - because of the NBA lockout just recently...let's just say I've been getting my exercise cravings back again, and dying to watch my favourite NBA teams back on ESPN... BUT APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S KEEPING TABS ON THE NBA! There are a few games on ONE HD, but it's just not as reliable as ESPN. Before I drift off into basketball la la land, I'll keep it relevant - apparently the word on the street is that people are getting fatter, spending way too much time watching TV and using the computer, and not getting enough exercise. I'm cautioning you, once you start a proper exercise routine, you will eventually become hooked to exercising...I have less time to exercise though due to the new yelping lifestyle (awww....stop making excuses, you say?). But seriously, even if you just spend 20-30 minutes having a light jog around Mawson Lakes - the work will sweat all your stress out, your body will love you and your mood will instantly lift up...instead of feeling sorry for myself...I just force myself to put on my trackpants and shoes! My body usually tells me when I need to whip my butt back into shape, I can just feel it in my bones. YEEHAH!! So if you're ever feeling slack, I recommend you try going for a run regularly around your local suburb for the next 30 days! When I go to Mawson Lakes...I just fall in love with the scenery! So go for it! Run around the lakes. Topless if you prefer. I guess I'm a sucker for exercise and being one with nature!

Civic park is a huge grassed area with a slight hill on 1 side, lots of trees, paths, a playground and events held throughout the year. The park is larger than most, so perfect for playing large games as an adult like soccer or footy. The playground is pretty cool, shady and always popular for Mums to meet at with their kids. The events here include carols by candlelight, old car meetings and a free moonlight cinema which is always full of deck chairs and beanbags. There is some parking on site, the obahn and unlicensed transport nearby and right across the road is Tea Tree Plaza, one of the largest shopping centers in the state.

Home to the 'Civic Park Spectacular' which is a firework and music show with names such as Vanessa Amarosi and Guy Sebastian gracing the stage, Civic park does have great events for families. During the day there are outdoor fitness classes like Step Into Life and tai chi keeping the park lively and people gather there to play soccer, football or look like angsty teens. Civic park has always been well maintained and houses a small carpark, a playground and toilets - like any park, just be careful around them at night time!

    I have found a new favourite park. Can't believe I've never known about it before. In fact I have…read moredriven down Osmond Terrace at Norwood on many an occasion and noticed some lovely black wrought iron gates with lots of greenery behind them. This time however I discovered the park via its other entrance, around the corner on Magill Road. I truly believe this park has something for everyone. It's a stunner. This park has obviously been around for a while because there's a plaque inside saying it was opened by Don Dunstan back in 1978 but there are other notices saying it has just undergone a significant upgrade. All I can say to the Norwood Council is ... well done you guys! Great job! Not only is the park beautifully landscaped with accompanying paved areas, there is masses of seating, a playground, barbecues, toilets, a dog drinking fountain, a people drinking fountain and some great art has been created on bare walls to bring them to life as well. The quirkiest and cutest thing in the park would have to be the stump of an old tree that looks like a loo! At first I thought, what a cool seat under that tree but on closer inspection there's a hole in the centre that makes it look more like a toilet. Glad to see someone has a sense of humour when it comes to public spaces. Great park and there are good coffee shops just across Magill Road if you want to get a coffee and enjoy it outdoors. BTW I'm with Tegan - its not a little park!

It…read moreis positioned behind the businesses on the really high profile corner of Magill Rd and Osmond Tce. It's not that small as alleged by my fellow yelpers, rather it has three joined but sort of seperated parts. There are two sets of play equipment, brand new toilet block, a bike parking area, a filtered drinking water 'station', bags for doggy doo, lots of green grass, lots of seating, a mural and a big fancy sign. I love it, so please don't come here unless you are very goodlooking, or intelligent, or interesting, or generally have something to offer, even if it's just chocolate. Otherwise, you're welcome to use it when I'm not. Thanks.

    This is such a great place. With a playground, skate park AND beautiful bike/hiking tracks through…read morethe local bush land, this really is a pretty place. While it isn't the biggest playground, they certainly have designed it with a wide range of age groups in mind. There's a mix of rubber ground and bark chip ground with toilets right in the middle of the skating area and the playground area. I spoke to a local who said the skate park is great (I've been out of the skating scene for too long to know hehehe). There were a couple of broken street lights in the car park but he assured me that the park gets maintained and looked after well, and he was surprised to see the damage himself. Pack your family up, put the bikes in the car and head over here. It would be a lovely Sunday outing. This is definitely one to check out. It's such a pretty place and while there's more construction happening at the moment (looks like an extension to the playground) this really is a happy blend of playground and nature with plaques along the way with information about the wildlife in that area. *I didn't see a drink fountain or BBQ* *Dogs allowed...under effective control of course* *Stay tuned to this post, I want to check the tracks out more myself! :-) See you there!*

It has exercise equipment, large skate park, hiking trails, fenced dog park and playground with toilets. Whilst I mainly visited for the playground with friends, I was disappointed that it does not cater for crawlers or children under 2 very well. Some of the equipment was too high/difficult for them to climb and they spent the majority of the time on the rubber ground. There was also no toddler swing, so if your kids like swings as much as mine then it's not the place to go. That being said it s well kept and tidy, but probably suited more to 3/4yo and up.
