About Marie Gregan Playground
Welcome to Marie Gregan Playground, located in Glandore, South Australia! This establishment is a must-visit point of interest in the City of Marion.
The recently upgraded Glandore Community Centre Reserve is a haven for children's imagination, with unique bird habitat designs that will make their creativity soar. Opened in July 2021, this upgraded reserve features a birdcage design with a scramble net, tunnel slide, and climbing logs. Junior play areas echo this bird theme with a birdhouse-inspired structure, scramble net, and junior slide.
But that's not all! The new games and sports plaza is a hub of activity, offering a 3 v 3 basketball court, outdoor table tennis facilities, and a kick-about lawn with mini soccer goals. The addition of a pump track for scooters and bikes, which was a popular request from the community, adds even more excitement to the playground.
As you explore the playground, you'll notice 13 colorful birdhouses fixed to natural timber posts, lovingly crafted by the centre's woodwork group. These birdhouses add a touch of whimsy and charm to the surroundings. And don't miss the dandelion art sculpture by Gerry McMahon, which completes the upgrade and adds a delightful artistic touch.
Marie Gregan, after whom the playground is named, was a dedicated community member who fought to preserve the Mobile Library service and worked tirelessly to improve services and policies for the aged community. Her legacy lives on through this playground, which the community chose to name in her honor.
In addition to the playground, the Rugby Building within the premises is available for hire for functions. It also features a small fully-fenced playground and sandpit, making it an ideal venue for gatherings and events.
If you're in the mood for exploration, the City of Marion has several reserves along or near the Mike Turtur Bikeway. Take a day to discover these beautiful outdoor spaces and make the most of your visit to Glandore.

Reviews of Marie Gregan Playground
"Recent re-done. Nice cafe nearby but limited hours. Toilets also limited hours. Big grassy areas for sport, pump track, basketball hoop, table tennis, hotplate available. Nice shaded areas. Halls available for rent. Also yoga classes outdoors at times."
"Lovely place to occupy a 3year old. He climbed the small wall, the first time. Then it was the rope climb. 3 is about the youngest that is OK for. The slippery dip is epic. Hey, still easy to go down, but give them a bit of time to get it. He loved it after he went down the first time."
"Cool playground and lovely space but shade over the seated area where the bbq is would be nice. I decided against cooking because the food, and myself, would have to stand in direct sun while cooking, then all be moved over to the shade near the gazebo. I guess that’s fine if you have people helping/watching children."
"Nice playground. Has a good bike trail and toilets close"
"The new slide is bigger and longer but only suitable for children 12 or under. Access to the slide is through a rope tunnel that is difficult and awkward to maneuver through if not physically painful. The table tennis table and improvement in aesthetic alongside the new BBQ is more than enough to make up for any downfalls though, such as removing a pair of swings. Overall, a great improvement."
