📍 Kings Park, WA
Free outdoor nature playspace in Kings Park featuring an artificial creek with three water play sections, elevated walkways, tunnels, and natural climbing structures. Views across the Swan River and Perth CBD. No bins inside — pack out your rubbish.
This is a mega cool space to spend some hours! You can learn a lot about the nature and animals as there are signs all around. The playground spaces are very fun and natural. It is great to have some water to play with too. Everything is well kept. There are toilets 🚻 but no bins. You also can't have picnics inside. Open 9am-4pm Tuesday to Sunday
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with active kids aged 4–12 who love water play and outdoor exploration. The three creek sections keep children occupied for hours. Bring a spare set of clothes and a towel — the water play is thorough. Check opening days before visiting as the site is closed Mondays.

“Beautiful park just next to the city centre. Jogged here, so there was a steep slope uphill. Enjoy commanding views of the Swan River and the city. Beautifully manicured garden throughout. There are many points to take wefies with the skyline in the background. You can picnic on the lawn. A must go for visitors to Perth. Thumbs up!”

“What an awesome spot to go with the kids. Even as an adult it's fun climbing the "jungle gyms" and obstacles. Very clean and full of nature. My kids love going there to let off some steam. Lots of space and not over crowded”

“Amazing place for young kids. Big elevated walkways, tunnels and a big artificial creek bed with three sections to have wild water play. Beware of quirky opening and closing times though (probably due to the heat)”
