Ashley Street Playground

If you’ve got little ones under 8, this one’s worth knowing about. The whole thing is fenced, which makes a massive difference when you’ve got a runner on your hands, and the toddler section means you’re not constantly chasing them away from equipment that’s too big. The purple colour scheme is hard to miss — locals just call it the Purple Playground and leave it at that. You’ve got slides, swings, and a climbing structure, plus the bonus of BBQ facilities and public toilets on-site, so you can actually make an afternoon of it. Torrensville sits under the flight path too, so expect kids to stop mid-climb every time a plane goes over.
