Morrie Harrell Playground

This playground reminds me of the community gardens in suburbs of London. It’s tucked away on a quiet street and I imagine only the locals and the few lucky people to stumble onto it, come here.
It’s caters for all ages and can be a barrel of laughs for everyone if you encourage other parents to get on the big wheel and spin the kids around.
While not fenced, there is very little traffic here, so your little ones are relatively safe.
One thing to note, it’s a great place for a birthday party. You just need to get permission from Unley Council to erect a marque in the case of extreme weather.

I have to say, as far as suburban playgrounds go, this one sure is a pretty sight! It’s fenced on one side and ‘little brick walled’ on the other. Most of the play equipment is fairly new and bright making even a ’30-​something’ woman want to have a play. There is a mix of old and new equipment, but I guess ‘if it ain’t broke’…
There isn’t any direct shade or cover over any of the playground but the picnic table is under a gloriously massive tree. I did have a little wince when I saw the open sandpit. I guess it’s fun for children during the day and a toilet bowl for cats at night? Even though the park is open planned, it is split up into two areas… an area for younger children and an area for older children but it’s a short enough distance from both play areas to supervise children comfortably.
This time of year the Jacaranda tree is a purply heaven against the manicured and maintained green lawn. What a lovely place to play.
