    Do you like a park that's a hidden treasure? Prefer to find a place that's tucked away from the…read moreview of the general public? Then Henry Codd Reserve on the corner or Maud and Windsor Streets at Parkside could be right up your alley. In terms of prettiness and quaintness, this park is just so sweet. I would describe it as a very private place as many of the houses in the area back onto the park and its tucked away from traffic. Both Maud and Windsor streets aren't high traffic areas which is good for the kids. The only thing to be aware of when it comes to traffic is there is a bike track through the centre of the park and a lot of people do come through - often at high speed. From the cyclists point of view it provides a great break from the George and Duthy Street traffic. Within the park itself there's an electric BBQ and newish play equipment for the kids. All the equipment is placed over padded matting to prevent injuries to those little arms and legs. I love the fact there's a modern but old fashioned looking seesaw in the park - you just don't see them that much these days. Given that this is a dog friendly park, there's a great water fountain with a bowl at the bottom for pooches to quench their thirst and there's a good supply of poo bags and bins for cleaning up after Fido! This place is worth a visit if you like tranquility and a pretty outlook.

    I was tempted not to write this review. Us locals to the Henry Codd Reserve like that this park is…read moretucked away and like our own little secret. However, community is all about sharing, right!? This Reserve is at the end Fuller Street in Parkside on the corner of Maud and Windsor Streets. It has a large grassed area, rotunda, barbecue and play equipment suitable for preschool through to junior primary children around the age of 10. The park is fully fenced and recently underwent a renovation nearby to extend the walkway from the reserve across George Street and Unley Road all the way to King William Road. This was previously a dirt track next to a drain, but has been turned into a natural reserve that is a pleasure to walk along and admire nature. The park itself has had quite a bit of controversy. The issue of dogs has been with Council for sometime. Apparently the locals are fighting about dogs being able to access the play equipment and potentially 'foul' on it. I don't have a dog and in the past five years have never seen any left droppings anywhere near the equipment. I imagine there just some disgruntled neighbours. If it wasn't for the local paper, I wouldn't even know about it. Dogs are very welcome - there is a drinking fountain with a bowl at the base for dogs to drink and doggie bags and a bin. The only thing missing is public toilets which would save us rushing home at the end of a play.

    I have to say, as far as suburban playgrounds go, this one sure is a pretty sight! It's fenced on…read moreone side and 'little brick walled' on the other. Most of the play equipment is fairly new and bright making even a '30-something' woman want to have a play. There is a mix of old and new equipment, but I guess 'if it ain't broke'..... There isn't any direct shade or cover over any of the playground but the picnic table is under a gloriously massive tree. I did have a little wince when I saw the open sandpit. I guess it's fun for children during the day and a toilet bowl for cats at night? Even though the park is open planned, it is split up into two areas....an area for younger children and an area for older children but it's a short enough distance from both play areas to supervise children comfortably. This time of year the Jacaranda tree is a purply heaven against the manicured and maintained green lawn. What a lovely place to play. *Dogs are prohibited within 3 meters of play equipment at all times* *No toilets*

    This playground reminds me of the community gardens in suburbs of London. It's tucked away on a…read morequiet street and I imagine only the locals and the few lucky people to stumble onto it, come here. It's caters for all ages and can be a barrel of laughs for everyone if you encourage other parents to get on the big wheel and spin the kids around. While not fenced, there is very little traffic here, so your little ones are relatively safe. One thing to note, it's a great place for a birthday party. You just need to get permission from Unley Council to erect a marque in the case of extreme weather.

    If you live in the Eastern suburbs and are looking for a great park to take the kids, Scammell…read moreReserve could be just the ticket. Accessed from either Fisher Street at Fullarton or Culross Avenue at Myrtle Bank, this park lies on the boundary between the two suburbs. Whereas a lot of parks are a bit dinky in size these days, this one is BIG with plenty of room for the kids (and the big kids) to run around in. Take the footy with you because this space is perfect for a game of kick to kick. Other facilities on site include tennis courts and an electric barbie. There's an abundance of shade and a playground with good equipment for the littlies. I like to take a blanket and a book and lie under one of the trees. Even though you're literally a stone's throw from a main road (Fullarton Road) you're actually pretty isolated from all the traffic noise which suits me just fine. The other thing that I like is the Fisher Street side is just across the road from a retirement village which I think is good for the residents and gives them a nice outlook even if there aren't too many of them out kicking the soccer ball around. Take note if you're not a dog person because this is a designated dog park. Pooches are allowed off their leashes in this park between the hours of 5pm to 10am. Outside of those hours they must be on a leash. And if you are a dog person - remember to be a poo picker upper or risk a fine from the council.

    This sweet little playground has been updated fairly recently. It's a toddler playground and…read morethere's not a great deal to it. I presume the tennis courts get used quite a bit, so the playground would be a nice little distraction for the children. I'm not sure how long the distraction would last though. The entire play area is rubber floored and a sheltered table/chair area plus BBQ are set up in between the playground and the tennis courts. There's plenty of room to run about and kick a ball. Although I didn't see a drinking fountain, I'm sure there's something nearby, perhaps beside the Scout Hall. *Dogs allowed (see photos)* *Tennis courts* *BBQ* *Sheltered table/chair area*
