If your kids love that fluttery tummy feeling of whooshing down a giant slide, Perth’s northern suburbs deliver in a big way. From riverside nature play and Swan Valley adventure parks to coastal Playgrounds with ocean views, you’ll find towering slide towers, super‑fast tunnel slides and epic climbs dotted all over the north of the river. Many of these parks also pack in water play, flying foxes and great family facilities, making them perfect for a full morning out, after‑school energy burn or weekend meet‑up with friends.
Here are some of the biggest and best slides in Perth’s north for families to explore.
Duncraig Adventure Hub
Duncraig Adventure Hub at Percy Doyle Reserve is a huge new youth-focused space packed with fun for all ages. The colourful Sensory Monsters Playground features textures, climbing nets, imaginative cubbies and two awesome tube slides shooting out from a towering container structure – with handy stairs so even younger kids (and parents) can climb up confidently. There’s also nature play, sand and water play, shaded swings, and a massive Lotterywest Bike and Skate Hub with skate park, pump and jump track and a multipurpose court, plus BBQs, shaded seating, toilets, CCTV and loads of room for family catch-ups.
