You know a Playground is fresh when you can still smell the newly laid turf and the iddy biddy trees in the surrounds are still in their protective guards. Well, the Hope Valley Reservoir Playground is so new the varnish on the climbing frame is still shiny!
The Hope Valley Reservoir opened for recreation in 2020, and the new playground takes it to the next level as a spot to spend the afternoon with the fam. The creative geniuses behind such Adelaide nature play spaces as The Morialta Conservation Park Playground, Mitcham Reserve and Victor Harbor CT Fisher Playground, Climbing Tree Creations, have been hard at it and designed a playground on the banks of the Hope Valley Reservoir that will get your kiddos climbing, building… and maybe even bouldering!
All with quite a shmick vista to take in while they’re at it!
