Do you have a fur baby in your family? Our chocolate Labrador Archer doesn’t get as many walks or as much attention as he used to pre-kids. That’s why we LOVE Unity park because it has a dog park for the dogs and a playground for the kids. Both are fully fenced (so you don’t need to worry about toddlers running away) and it’s the perfect whole family outing – dad with the dog and mum with the kids (or vice versa). Just make sure you don’t take your dog into the kids playground area.

Sheltered picnic tables are within the playground area, and there’s a BBQ just outside the fence. The kids can enjoy plenty of equipment and space to move, and so much lush green grass to run around on or have a picnic. You’ll also find a lake and ducks to feed, and it’s a great bike riding spot.

This is definitely a park we’ll be visiting more often to make sure our 5 year dog and 3 year old daughter get a chance to expel their energy!

Find it at: Miravale The fences are down at the Miravale housing development playground at Angle Vale! With some touches on their fantastic play space in the heart of the development, still being done but the locals are loving it! With a great tower and tube slide the centre piece, rock climbing wall, gym equipment, pump track, basketball court and with nature play and a whole range of other equipment for the kids to play on, this will be a winner with locals. We loved the undercover BBQ area which will be a very busy birthday party spot we reckon. Oh did we mention there are toilets?!! Word of warning they are in the development sales centre, so they are sometimes closed if the office isn't staffed. It is also really close to the local Drakes, Angle Vale Tavern, Sneaky's Restaurant and Virgara Wines so a great spot for the day trippers to plan their trek out north. Lacking a bit of shade at the moment, which is common for new developments, but give it time as they have planted a lot of trees (and have installed some nice shaded seating areas) so this should grow nicely into a really…

Find it at: Lefevre Street, North Adelaide Better known as Helicopter Park to many, Glover North Playground is located on Lefevre Terrace in North Adelaide. With a large helicopter as its centrepiece, smaller kids can slide out of the chopper's belly as one of the many pint-sized highlights located at this much loved playground. There are also plenty of swings, see-saws, climbing frames and sand play equipment including the popular diggers in the huge sandpit. Much of the playground's fun is best suited to younger kids aged 1-5 years, however older kids will also enjoy the larger climbing frames, rope bridge and forts. Most of the equipment has softfall rubber matting or barkchips to break any falls. There is a range of equipment that isn't common elsewhere with Heaps of things to climb on, slide down, walk across and more. One of the best fenced playgrounds near the CBD, Helicopter Park has shaded, grassy picnic spots, drink fountain, toilets and BBQ facilities. Keep in mind that most of the play equipment is not shaded. There are also horses agisted in the nearby parklands which the kids love - take care though as patting and feeding is not recommended. There is also a…
