Hours of Splashy Fun
Stay cool at the Waterworld Aquatic Centre, with loads of splashy fun for all ages. You can learn to swim, host a birthday party, get aqua-fit or even hire the venue to host a private event.
This fabulous aquatic park doesn’t just keep local residents around Ridgehaven, Modbury, St Agnes, Redwood Park and Tea Tree Gully cool, fresh and entertained, it’s widely visited by water-lovers from all over Adelaide.
Brain Freeze
One of the best things about living in Adelaide’s east, inner north and north-east suburbs is the fantastic choice of ice creameries, because nothing beats a refreshing ice cream or gelato on a scorching summer’s day.
You can visit Ovo Gelato & Dessert Bar at Newton with the kids or even take grandma and grandpa out for an icy treat… delicious gelato is for all ages.
Cold Rock at Norwood and Gelato Bello on Glynburn Road at Glynde are also popular spots on Adelaide’s leafy east side. With flavours like Baci, Biscoff and Tiramisu, it’s a yummy sweet treat with a welcome chill factor!
Ovo Gelato & Dessert Bar at Newton serves up deliciously, refreshing traditional Italian gelati.
Discover Your Adventurous Side
There are plenty of amazing adventure playgrounds around Adelaide to visit in the summer holidays. The upgraded Dunstan Adventure Playground along the River Torrens Linear Park in St Peters is perfect for kids of all ages, and the Enchanted Garden Prospect Memorial Gardens Playground was shortlisted for the ‘Australia’s Best Playground’ award!
If you own a home or rent in Lightsview, you will already know about the Lightsview Adventure Playground, a great way to get the kids to enjoy a fun activity in the great outdoors with no cost involved. This popular playground is visited by locals from Northgate, Oakden and surrounding suburbs too.
Camp Near Home
You can take the family camping and enjoy the full camping experience without having to go far from home, especially if you live near the city, the east or the northeast suburbs.
Nestled along the leafy banks of the River Torrens Linear Park in Vale Park, the Levi Adelaide Holiday Park has apartments, villas and cabins for comfy-camping, as well as powered sites for caravans, motorhomes, RV’s, camper trailers and tents for an authentic camping experience. It features a heated swimming pool, camp kitchen, playground and tennis court.
Adelaide’s Brownhill Creek Caravan and Holiday Park is nestled in the Brownhill Creek State Recreation Park in the leafy suburb of Mitcham. It may be close to the city, but you’ll feel like you’re out in the bush! The Brownhill Creek Caravan Park has cabins, villas, powered and unpowered sites alongside tennis courts and a swimming pool, so you don’t have to go far to enjoy a camping escape this summer.
Levi Adelaide Holiday Park is located in the centre of the north-east, with an abundance of amenities for the whole family to enjoy!
