🛝 Let the Kids Play at Wilfred Taylor Reserve
After breakfast, stretch the legs at Wilfred Taylor Reserve in Morphett Vale. This expansive and newly upgraded nature-inspired playground is ideal for kids of all ages — think climbing towers, flying foxes, and balance zones set among shady trees and grassy spaces. There’s even picnic seating for a quick morning tea if you need it.
