Novara Foreshore Reserve in Falcon is a beautiful, family-friendly spot along the estuary that’s ideal for relaxed picnics, a play, and time on the water. Families will find several picnic gazebos dotted along the grassed foreshore, making it easy to set up for a morning or afternoon with friends. There are barbecues close by, so you can bring sausages or burgers and cook while the kids play. The setting is very much “Mandurah chill” – grassy areas, water views, and a laid-back local feel, with space for kids to run around or ride scooters along the paths.
The Playground area includes swings and rope-style climbing equipment, giving kids plenty to climb, balance and swing on. It’s a good all-round space for mixed ages, from younger children who are happy on the swings to bigger kids who enjoy clambering up the rope structures. Being right by the water, it’s also a lovely place to wander, watch the birdlife, or just sit in the shade while the kids explore.
Practical facilities make Novara Foreshore Reserve an easy choice for families. There are public toilets on site, plus plenty of parking, including space for trailers using the boat ramp. The reserve also features a boat ramp and jetty, so families can launch a boat, head out crabbing or fishing, or simply enjoy watching the boats come and go from the shore. Paths along the reserve are popular with walkers, joggers and people out with their dogs, so it’s just as suitable for a peaceful stroll as it is for a full family play-and-picnic session.
Whether you’re meeting friends for a barbecue, stopping in on the way to or from Dawesville, or just looking for a quiet foreshore park with a Playground and toilets, Novara Foreshore Reserve is a handy, low-key spot to add to your Mandurah-area list.
