Thalassa Park — Attraction in Adelaide

Thalassa park is in reality at least a 4 star park. It's a big beautiful park great for a picnic, dog walk, bike ride etc.

But I had to write about the 'upgrade' to the playground. The old playground was ripped down and replaced with a new one. What a downgrade! It looks great, but there is far, far less to do. After a few minutes my toddler and I were relegated to making up a game with barkchips and a long sitting bench. The playground consists of:

-one tyre swing - no other swings of any sort -one elevated platform with a small slippery dip, ladder, net, climbable bits etc -one big slippery dip -one wooden climbing frame -a few little animals on springs for kids to rock on.

All good stuff but that's it. Can't believe how this...

Beautiful grounds, well appointed for a family outing or gathering.

The playground is good for toddlers up to lower primary age, and has covered picnic areas, benches, toilets and drink fountain nearby. It is not fenced, but doesn't really need it as it is far away from roads, and downhill from the car parking areas.

There are several picnic spots with barbecues, both by the playground and along the trails. Most have shelters.

The large reserve is lovely to explore, and accessible for prams and wheelchairs via walking trails. There are gardens to explore, and the storybook trail is nice to wander through. Also, plenty of room to kick a ball. The flowers in spring and leaves in autumn...

Has had a lovely facelift recently. This park is aesthetically amazing, the play equipment and play space caters for all ages, the whole family. There are toilets in an easy accessible spot near park, ample sections of car parking around the park. Set in a luscious area, there is plenty of trees to provide shaded areas around the play area. Several bbq facilities and sheltered seating areas around the playground. Dog park also nearby and a beautifully maintained garden...
