I am definitely a fan of this playground but something held me back from giving it five stars…read more Perhaps it was the dated equipment, perhaps it was the lack of equipment designed for the much older children, perhaps it's the lack of shade over the playground, or perhaps it was the long distance to the toilets, I'm not sure but let me tell you what's great about this place. This playground is fully fenced and the entire space has a rubber flooring. There is a drinking fountain, tap, table/chair and BBQ all within close proximity to the playground. Unfortunately there isn't any shelter/shade over the table but with the massive gum trees in the park, there is some shade depending on the time you visit. This is a great place to come but for me, it slightly falls short of my 'destination' playground status. Maybe I'm having a bad day lol. There's PLENTY of space to kick a ball or throw a frisbee outside of the fenced playground area. *Dogs allowed* *Drinking fountain and tap* *Table/chair area (not sheltered)* *BBQ* *Toilets (walking distance)*

Finally! A park with toilets. I think I'd give a park three stars simply for having a toilet, and…read moreeverything else on top of that is a bonus. My kind of park is one that has a great moat of green protecting a toilet right in the middle. Nothing else actually matter. And a drinking fountain too? Benissimo! There's a wide area and plenty of space to play with balls. There's your usual playground. There's a barbecue. And that's about it. But there's nothing more you need. Of course, there could, perhaps, be a little more shade. We're in Australia, after all, not Siberia. But, regardless, this is a nice park. If it's your local park, it's worth being proud of.

When I arrived at this playground, there was a family all sitting down together, eating lunch at…read morethe table in the shade. Once I checked out the playground, I could understand why. This may not be the biggest of playgrounds but it does have a good blend of equipment for different ages....and it's new! As far as a quiet neighbourhood playground goes, this is great. I couldn't see if there was a drinking fountain but the norm for Mitcham Council is that there wouldn't be one. If you're a local, this may not be a big deal but it's something that I like to see at playgrounds. There isn't a lot of shade apart from that cast by the gorgeous trees but that falls mostly on the lawn area and not the playground. The whole area is fully fenced and while that usually means (for Mitcham Council at least) that dogs aren't allowed, I didn't see any signs saying that.

The only things holding this playground back from a five star rating is the lack of toilets and…read moredrinking fountain, other than that this is a wonderful place to be. There's a variety of equipment for a variety of ages and even a basketball hoop! Bring a basketball, a football, the bikes, some sausages and the children for a lovely day out. There are bike tracks running along the fence line and this is quite a popular track for those families who like to take a ride together. Perhaps you could stop here for lunch?? *Dogs allowed* *Sheltered table/chairs* *BBQ* *Basketball hoop*

Ah! It's hard sometimes. This park is so great. It's fantastic. I took my godfather's son here once…read morewhen I was burdened with him and he loved it. And you know what? I loved it too. We had a great time together. Hell, the chemistry between the two of us was so uncharacteristically poignant I was able to get away with pretending he was my son and I was a single father to mothers nearby. But this park has no toilets. Look at the pictures to see all the wonderful stuff it DOES have, but know this: No toilet, no park. It may seem like a silly rule, but I've been hurt too many time before to open myself up to a park without a toilet. I don't think I could survive another heartbreak.

This is such a sweet playground. It's designed more for the younger children and is such a lovely…read moreplace to play. The view isn't bad either. There isn't any shelter but there is a table/chair near a tree although I'm not sure how much shade it gets. The playground itself is out in the open and has a small shade area built into it. The entire ground is bark chip and there isn't a drinking fountain or toilets. The area isn't fenced although it is on a quiet street. It's a sweet place to go if you're in the area and have toddlers. *Dogs allowed, under control* *No drinking fountain* *No shade/shelter*

I don't think you would ever find this playground empty during the daylight hours. This is the…read moreplayground of ALL playgrounds in the Southern area. It used to be great but now, since the upgrade, it's freaking amazing! The wooden playground is still there in all it's fantastical glory, but wait, there's MORE! Now there's plenty of BBQ's and sheltered table/chair areas. There's new play equipment for the younger children, all sorts of interactive musical equipment and a bigger car park. I was there a couple of months ago and the toilets are a little walk away but with the new work that's been happening there, they might be moved closer. Get in early if you want a BBQ. There's usually plenty to go around but if you are having a birthday party there, you'll want to stay the whole day. There's a mix of rubber flooring and bark chip depending on the equipment. LOTS OF FUN!

While Adelaide has no shortage of amazing playgrounds, St Kilda's adventure park and this place -…read moreJubilee Adventure playground certainly must rank as the prettiest around. While St Kilda rules the north, Jubilee must be the best looking and most fun playground in the southern part of Adelaide. This is one playground that all kids will find an instant liking to. I meant, look at that!! A wooden castle! It must be entralling to see something this big and be able to play in it. There's area catered for all ages. A smaller slide and and tunnel meant for toddlers, the main castle for the older kids. Heck, even I was running around with the kids up and down the castle earlier this afternoon. There are also many seats and benches for the parents, a couple of them with shelter. The castle playground itself is enclosed with wooden fences, so there's little fear that your young ones will 'escape'. lol. Great place to bring your kids around every once in a while. Noarlunga shopping centre is only nearby, you can always rock up to the playground early in the morning and then spend the afternoon in the shopping centre. Good way to spend a day. :)

As far as older style playgrounds go, this one is pretty cool! I know it's not designed to…read moreentertain older children but younger children would definitely have some giggles here. This is an Access For All playground which is always nice to see but I can't imagine pushing a wheel chair around on bark chips would be much fun for the person assisting the child in the chair. That seemed like an odd choice to me ESPECIALLY seeing as there are interactive boards on the ground level of the playground that could be used by some children from in their chairs. Nevertheless, this is still a fun park for toddlers and younger children. There is a massive lawn area which is great. It is in front of the playground so that means the playground is way at the back of the park. Car parking is a little tricky...try down Gore St, it's the only street I didn't drive down. There are one way streets around here so once you go, you can't go back lol. *Dogs allowed* *Sheltered table/chair area* *No drinking fountain/tap* *Some decent shade built into the playground*

Okay, so a park has finally come along to make me wave my usual law of: no toilet, no park. Let it…read morebe known, however, that were there a toilet and a drinking tap, this place would be five star. What I like most about it is the aesthetics of the playground. The playground has been fashioned to look like some ancient Indian castle of palace. How badass is that!? Sometimes, if I'm with the right people, I'll go nuts on a playground despite my age. Unfortunately, I've not yet had the pleasure to do that with this playground. Yet. I plan to imagine myself an Indian princess very, very soon. And I like the greenness of the park too. It's very green. I guess that's all I can say. There're barbecue and benches and that, but my favourite thing is the interesting look of the playground, which you can see in the pictures.

Woohoo! I would be so happy to have this playground near me...if I was a child that is ;-)…read more Here's a quick list of things to love about the place; entirely rubber floored, shade cloth overhead, new play equipment, INTERESTING play equipment, toilets close by, BBQs close by, shaded seating area in the gazebo, basketball hoop, drinking fountain, it's a very pretty place. Here's a quick list of reasons why I didn't give it five stars (bare with me, you all know how picky I can be); some shaded table/chair areas near the BBQ would be great, most of the equipment would be suited to younger children/toddlers more than older children. Tricked you! It wasn't a long list at all was it? *Dogs allowed (not in playground area)* *Drinking fountain* *Shaded seating* *BBQs* *Basketball hoop* *Shade cloth*

This sure is a fun place to be! Perhaps the biggest aspect of this playground that I enjoyed was…read morethe range of play equipment. There really is a lot here for older children as well as equipment accessible and appropriate for the younger members of a family. In my opinion, this playground JUST fell short of a five star review and I can't pin point why that is. Perhaps it's just not as new as a lot of the other five star playgrounds have been. I hate bark chip and I'm not afraid to say it. On the other hand, this playground has most of the 'added extras' I like to see in a family friendly park; drinking fountain, shade (although it's a little distance from the playground), table/chair area, BBQ, toilets. Perhaps the biggest things missing that would undoubtedly make this a five star playground is the rubber flooring under the play equipment and some shade. The table/chair and BBQ are under shade from the trees. There's also a sheltered gazebo/seating area but that's a little distance from the playground, BBQ and table/chair. There's plenty of room to kick a ball here. Such a lovely space! *Dogs allowed (not near playground)* *Drinking fountain* *BBQ* *Shaded gazebo/seating* *Table/chair* *Toilet block* *Basketball court*

Whenever I go to the reserve there is a friendly face I can stop and have a chat with. The playground is great for younger children, with swings, slides, monkey bars and climbing frames. Although no shade over it, so it does get hot in summer. The grass space is lovely and I am very glad that the council have started watering the grass through summer, I still remember the dust bowl conditions of a few summers ago. It is very friendly for dog owners. The BBQs are great, with plenty of space for a few groups at once. For older children who have outgrown the playground it would be great to see an upgrade to the basketball 'court', or some soccer goals, or netball rings.
