Playgrounds in Murray Bridge, the Lakes & Coorong

In Murray Bridge, riverside Sturt Reserve has a children's playground, a skate park and toilets. Mannum's Mary Ann Reserve sits by the river, with playgrounds that include equipment for children with disability. In Tailem Bend, the main street playground is fenced, with a restored train engine and big boulders to climb under cover. Meningie's Lions Jubilee Park has swings, a horse rocker and undercover coin-operated barbecues. In Lameroo, the town centre playground has fenced, shaded equipment, a pump track and a dog park.

At Sturt Reserve, look for the Murray Bridge Bunyip, who has lurked in a cave on the riverbank since 1972. A town loop walking trail passes the Tailem Bend playground and takes about 30 minutes. From Lions Jubilee Park, the Pelican Path runs 400 metres along the foreshore and suits prams.

On the Karoonda Highway, the Wanbi Soldiers Memorial Playground mixes nature play with traditional equipment and has an accessible toilet. Swan Reach's Len White Reserve has a playground at a riverside skiing, boating and picnic spot.
