Baillie Hill in East Victoria Park is set to become one of Perthโs most exciting new destinations for families when it opens on Monday 19 January 2026. The $25 million lifestyle precinct blends hospitality, heritage and green space on the historic Elizabeth Baillie site, formerly Western Australiaโs first specialist maternity hospital. Thoughtfully designed as a modern, walkable village, it brings together multiple venues, generous lawn areas and dedicated family zones in one cohesive, easy-to-enjoy space.

Families are very much at the heart of Baillie Hill. One of the standout features for parents is Millyโs Playspace, an impressive fenced and gated Playground that gives peace of mind while little ones explore.


Predominantly built from timber, Millyโs Playspace has a lovely natural feel, with a wooden jeep to clamber over, a birds nest swing, a central raised fort with cubby house and slide, plus plenty of balancing and climbing logs to challenge more confident kids.

Wooden log seating around the edge of the play area gives grown-ups somewhere relaxed to perch while the children play.

The design leans more towards school-aged children rather than toddlers, making it ideal for early primary and upwards who enjoy climbing, testing their balance and using their imaginations in open-ended play.
Directly beside Millyโs Playspace is a shaded pavilion with picnic tables, perfectly positioned so you can sit and enjoy food or a coffee while keeping a clear line of sight to the kids as they play.


Across the precinct, Baillie Hill offers seating for around 800 people, with a mix of indoor spots and various alfresco areas.

There are cosy nooks, open terraces and garden-side tables, plus adorable mini picnic tables just for children, which makes eating out feel fun and comfortable for younger diners.

For older kids (and competitive grown-ups), there are lawn games such as giant Jenga and Connect 4 on the grass, and a ping pong table, encouraging families to linger, relax and play together.

Across the precinct, Baillie Hill offers a collection of venues each with their own personality but a shared โneighbourhood hospitalityโ feel. Youโll be able to grab your morning coffee and treats from Bethโs Bakery, enjoy relaxed dining and drinks at The Berwick Bar & Kitchen, unwind in the green surrounds of Millyโs Acre, pick up a pizza from Parco Pizza or treat the family to a scoop (or two) from Greensleeves Gelato.


Millyโs Farm will be a big hit with younger children, offering the chance to visit and meet small farm animals on site โ a lovely, low-key way to add a bit of farm-style fun to a day out without leaving the suburbs.

Executive Chef Ermias Alemayehu has crafted menus with a modern Australian approach, championing local produce, seasonality and low-waste practices, so families can expect simple, delicious food done well rather than fussy, formal dining.
Baillie Hill has been carefully shaped to work across the entire day and the rhythm of real family life. Think school and childcare visits to Millyโs Barn, lazy afternoons on the grass, creative workshops and markets, and easy dinners where kids can have a run around before or after they eat.

A weekly Sunday morning farmers market is also planned, adding another family-friendly reason to pop down regularly for fresh produce, breakfast and a wander while the kids enjoy the open space. The restored Elizabeth Baillie House and use of reclaimed jarrah keep the siteโs history front and centre, while new paths, open lawns and welcoming venues make it feel fresh and contemporary.

For Perth families looking for somewhere that truly caters to all ages โ with great food, loads of outdoor space, small farm animals to visit, markets and a genuinely family-friendly design โ Baillie Hill is shaping up to be a must-visit.
