Don’t know much about Norwood Swimming Centre? Well, it’s a bit of a secret destination for locals – it’s not as fancy as some of its bigger cousins and has sometimes been forgotten or some people don’t even know about it. We have always loved that it’s not as busy […]

James Coke Park behind Norwood Mall is one of our top picks for playgrounds in Adelaide for toddlers and little kids.

The Bush Magic Playground in North Adelaide, just next to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre, is a much loved playground.

The […]
