Point Malcolm Beach

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Point Malcolm Reserve is, I must declare, the Pemberley of playgrounds - vast, handsome, and possessed of so many amusements that one feels quite exhausted merely surveying them. Upgraded in 2017 (a most agreeable modernisation), it now boasts climbing towers so tall they might give even Lady Catherine pause, and a slide so perilously steep it could deliver one from youth to adulthood in a single descent. The grounds stretch magnificently between Military Road and the sea, offering both civility and chaos in equal measure. Children may climb, tumble, or shriek to their hearts’ content, while their parents - poor souls - attempt to appear delighted. There are courts for basketball and tennis, though I observed them largely occupied by fathers pretending to exercise while secretly hoping their children lose interest in the playground. Picnic tables abound, though beware the sea breeze, which delights in removing napkins and modesty alike. The beach beyond the dunes is a marvel - soft sand, forgiving waves, and the promise of escape should the playground prove too lively. Toilets are available (a modern miracle), the car parking abundant, and the general atmosphere one of cheerful bedlam. In short, Point Malcolm Reserve is a triumph of municipal ambition - a place where children may expend their energy, adults may recover theirs, and everyone may depart sandy, sunburnt, and slightly unhinged. Five stars.

Super busy little place. Plenty of lawn area, big kids playground, flying fox and an exercise area on one side. Then the courts - tennis and basketball in brand new condition. And then the littler kids area with plenty of climbing, music, trampolines, sandpit and water play. BBQ facilities, not too many bench seats around though. Lots of walking paths and toilets at semaphore surf club.

Been here before many years ago and came back to find such a big change. The playground was upgraded in 2017 and looks amazing. There are lots of activities for the little ones (kids under 3 years too). Older kids would love the big structure at the middle (challenging climb but fun) and a steep slide. It has gym equipments at one section for anyone wanting a workout. There are multiple BBQs stoves (undercover areas), tennis courts and there is the toilet at the surf life saving building (free to the public). Lots of parking and the beach is in walking distance. There are two flying foxes and multiple swings and slides too. Also, there is a beautiful xylophone to use for musically inclined little ones. We had a nice and wonderful experience. The only negative feedback: the council should install a toilet nearer to the playground.
