Jubilee Park and Adventure Playground

While Adelaide has no shortage of amazing playgrounds, St Kilda’s adventure park and this place — Jubilee Adventure playground certainly must rank as the prettiest around. While St Kilda rules the north, Jubilee must be the best looking and most fun playground in the southern part of Adelaide.
This is one playground that all kids will find an instant liking to. I meant, look at that! A wooden castle! It must be entralling to see something this big and be able to play in it.
There’s area catered for all ages. A smaller slide and and tunnel meant for toddlers, the main castle for the older kids. Heck, even I was running around with the kids up and down the castle earlier this afternoon.
There are also many seats and benches for the parents, a couple of them with shelter. The castle playground itself is enclosed with wooden fences, so there’s little fear that your young ones will ‘escape’. lol.
Great place to bring your kids around every once in a while. Noarlunga shopping centre is only nearby, you can always rock up to the playground early in the morning and then spend the afternoon in the shopping centre. Good way to spend a day. :)

This is the kind of playground that you only thought existed in your dreams. For that reason, it is worthy of five stars. Apart from being one of the largest and most intricate playgrounds that I have ever seen, it also features may interactive components that can occupy children — big and small.
There are several slides, a swing set, several pergolas and verandahs that provide shade on hot summer’s days, and of course bridges, walking platforms and a pole that you can slide down. Oh and did I mention that a lot of the playground is made out of wood? I think that is one of the coolest parts.
Apart from the playground component, there are also nearby BBQ’s that can be perfect for cooking up lunch — just to be warned, they would be very popular during the summer, so I would bring a picnic just in case.

Oh wow — I’m going to add my 5 star review to the other 5 star reviews … this is the most amazing playground I have ever seen!
We were having coffee and cake at nearby Gawler Street (Port Noarlunga foodie mecca), so thought we’d take Miss 5 to this playground, since we’d driven past it previously. Even though it was pretty busy, it’s so HUGE that it didn’t matter — Miss 5 was amazed, running around and playing on everything. There’s even seating for adults (of which I availed myself, since Miss 5’s mum was doing the dutiful following-​around duties: P). They have thought of everything.
The main section is fenced off with child-​safe gates, yet there is *another* smaller playground nextdoor. The main playground is built mainly with wood in fanciful castle-​like style, but the next door playground is more modern with bright coloured plastic. Of course, Miss 5 wanted to try out this one too ;)
So if you’ve driven past and thought ‘oh I must stop by there’, then DO!

I don’t think you would ever find this playground empty during the daylight hours. This is the playground of ALL playgrounds in the Southern area. It used to be great but now, since the upgrade, it’s freaking amazing!
The wooden playground is still there in all it’s fantastical glory, but wait, there’s MORE! Now there’s plenty of BBQ’s and sheltered table/​chair areas. There’s new play equipment for the younger children, all sorts of interactive musical equipment and a bigger car park.
I was there a couple of months ago and the toilets are a little walk away but with the new work that’s been happening there, they might be moved closer.
Get in early if you want a BBQ. There’s usually plenty to go around but if you are having a birthday party there, you’ll want to stay the whole day.
There’s a mix of rubber flooring and bark chip depending on the equipment.
LOTS OF FUN!

This is the most fantastic playground in the southern area! It is commonly known as The Wooden Playground as it was originally an all wooden playground. However they have recently upgraded the area and there is nw some newer equipment as well.
The main playground area has a separate area for younger children so they won’t get knocked over by the older kids. In the general area it has swings, a lighthouse, fire pole, rockwall, ship, castle, rocket, monkey bars, rubber bridge, tyre tunnel, wooden forts, climbing equipment and heaps of slides. The whole main wooden playground is enclosed which makes it so much safer for the kids to play. There are a lot of tables and chairs on the massive grass area’s around the playgrounds. There are also new BBQ’s that have been installed. There are toilet facilities a minute’s walk away, including a disabled toilet. In fact the whole playground has wheelchair access.
The kids absolutely LOVE it here and you can barely see them for hours. If they do come out there is heaps of grass space to play with balls or frisbees or even to fly a kite!
