Nature Play Playgrounds in Adelaide
There are some great imaginative and fun playgrounds in Adelaide that feature Nature Play elements.
Nature Play allows children to turn off their screens and go out and play in nature. Many of these playgrounds include natural elements that might feature logs, rocks and trees so kids can get (a little) dirty, imaginative and at one with nature. For the ultimate Nature Playground we can’t go past the sprawling Morialta Conservation Park Nature Playground with its secret snake tunnel, wooden climbing frames, lookouts and climbing boulders. Wilfred Taylor Reserve Nature Playspace at Morphett Vale is also a standout destination with unique features like the Hills to Beach Creative Sand and Water Play area, a “Farm Village” with farm-themed play equipment including a large wooden tractor, sheep rockers, slides, and a cute farm shop with a wooden bridge and climbing nets.
