Kyilla Community Farmers Market is one of those gorgeous, community-driven Saturday morning markets that’s perfect for families. Held in Kyilla Park behind Kyilla Primary School in North Perth, it runs every Saturday from 8:00am to 11:30am, and has a friendly, local feel from the moment you arrive. Stalls ring the park, kids are playing, a musician is usually performing, and the whole place feels like the neighbourhood’s weekly catch-up spot.
The market has a strong focus on fresh, local produce. You’ll find farm-direct seasonal fruit and vegetables, quality meat, fresh bread, honey, nuts, flowers and plenty of homemade goodies, with many stallholders coming back week after week. It’s the kind of place where you can stock up on your weekend fruit and veg, grab some meat or seafood for the barbecue, and tuck a few jars of jam or chutney into your bag for later.
For families, the dedicated kids’ zone is a big win. Set up under a gazebo for shade, this area typically includes imaginative play mats, wooden blocks, toy animals and bugs, craft or simple activities, and often a cheap-and-cheerful face painter. There are low stools for adults to perch on while they play with their children or chat with other parents, and it’s a great spot for little ones to make new friends. The kids’ space is run by volunteers and forms part of the market’s community fundraising efforts for Kyilla Primary School, so you know your morning out is helping support local kids too.
Right alongside the market is the Kyilla Park Playground, which adds an extra layer of fun. With climbing ropes, slides, balance elements and a fort, plus some undercover equipment, it’s easy for children to move between the kids’ zone and the Playground while parents keep an eye on them. The shaded seating areas under trees near the live music make it easy to grab your breakfast or a coffee and relax while the kids run off some energy.
Food and drink options are excellent for a casual breakfast or brunch. Expect at least one good coffee van pouring hot brews and cold-pressed options, a juice and smoothie stall, and a rotating mix of food stalls serving everything from bacon-and-egg rolls and breakfast wraps to Turkish, Asian and baked treats. It’s very easy to build a picnic-style breakfast from different stalls, then sit back and enjoy while a local musician plays classic tunes.
The community aspect of Kyilla Community Farmers Market really shines. As well as the P&C fundraising stall from Kyilla Primary School, which might be selling breakfast wraps or baked goods, you’ll often see local groups such as the Beaufort Street Community Centre with toys and activities set up for children, and friendly volunteers available for a chat. The market exists not just as a place to shop, but as a regular meeting place for families from North Perth, Coolbinia, Mount Hawthorn, Leederville and beyond.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, kid-friendly way to start the weekend, Kyilla Community Farmers Market is well worth adding to your list. Come hungry, bring your reusable bags and a picnic rug, and settle in for a morning of good food, fresh produce, and easy community vibes while the children play.
