Explore a local creek: test your balance and coordination at your local creek by exploring banks, bridges and logs or stick to the trails and find a place to listen to the sounds of a creek.

The smell and sound of creeks can be relaxing and calming for our minds. It can be exciting when we play and explore around them. Check out Nature Play SA’s list of 9 best creeks for families around Adelaide.
