Everard Park Reserve

Sometimes I like to see nature without being IN the nature. I really like the bench on the bricks. I’ve sat there often to read or scribble away. That’s the defining characteristic of the park.
Of course, it has all the other necessary features of a park: shade, tape, barbecue, toilets and playground.
It’s a great local park, and one I’ve had the opportunity to visit often ’cause I regularly house-​sit for a family that lives just around the corner.
If you live in Everard, turn the television off and check out the local scenery. It’ll be good for you.

This may not be the biggest playground in the world but it has everything you could want… except shade sails over the playground but not many councils seem to want this as much as the parents.
I was completely shocked and excited when I saw this place. The playground has been well thought out to provide different activities for different age groups. It’s NEW equipment! I wish it was rubber floored rather than bark chipped but hey, you can’t have it all.
There are toilets, a BBQ, table/​chair areas under the shade of trees, a drinking fountain AND the playground itself is fully fenced. For such a small space, the City of Unley really has done a great job in providing a wonderful space for the community.
You can tell by the number of photos how excited I was hehehehe. If you are in the area and you HAVEN’T used this space, you are doing everyone a dis-​service, especially those of us who don’t live close by and would love to have a place like this.
