Located in Alkimos, approximately 44 km north of Perth, Merewether Park (opened Oct26) deserves a spot on your family’s outing list! First, we love the ocean views! The park overlooks the sea, making it a beautiful spot for the kids to play while parents enjoy the coastal surroundings. We also love the vibrant colour scheme, with bold blues, oranges and yellows bringing the space to life.
The four-way swing features four swings in one set, including an all-abilities swing with a secure harness system. It almost feels like being strapped into a roller coaster!
The giant blue-and-orange steel dome is a unique feature that invites children to get creative with their play. Whether they imagine it as a climbing challenge, a secret hideout or something entirely different, it’s a great opportunity for imaginative adventures.
There’s also a soft-fall mountain with stairs, a rope-climbing hill which is a standout, offering a fun challenge for little climbers, stepping pods and a slide, plus hand pipes, hopscotch and long-jump markings.
The pavement games add another layer of fun beyond the traditional playground equipment.
Families can enjoy shaded picnic tables, benches, BBQ facilities, a drinking fountain, bike rack, bins and pathways suitable for scooters and strollers. Shade sails provide extra protection from the sun, while wood chips and soft-fall flooring cover different play areas. There’s also plenty of open grass for running around, playing games and enjoying a picnic.
Make a day of it and pack a picnic or grab a coffee from Kwik Koffee Alkimos Beach or Beach House Eden Beach. You could even extend your visit with a trip to Alkimos Beach itself. Please note that there are no public toilets at the park.
Merewether Park combines coastal views, vibrant colours and plenty of opportunities for active and imaginative play. It’s a lovely new addition to Perth’s northern playground scene!
You’ll find it on the corner of Merewether Avenue, with additional access from Douglas Road, Alkimos. Street parking is limited, so keep that in mind when planning your visit.
