Playground
McKellar Terrace Reserve in Morphettville is a neighbourhood playground and was upgraded in 2013. It features a playground, tennis courts and a shady reserve.
Northern End
The playground includes a multistation with slide, a basket swing and a carousel. A wooden balance beam zig-zags on the Cobham Avenue side of the reserve.
The upgrade incorporated a meandering compacted gravel path and landscaping around the large trees which has enhanced the natural qualities of the site and accessibility.
The park is a great place for the family to visit with picnic facilities including a BBQ, shelter, drinking fountain and seating.
Southern End
The southern end of the reserve has lots of shady trees, bench seating and a tap - perfect for spending some time with your favourite pooch.
