Situated close by to Subiaco Train Station and Domain Stadium is the pretty and peaceful Market Square Park. We discovered the park after a visit to a nearby cafe, and Miss almost 3 loved it! It was quiet and leafy, full of birdsong with the sound of the occasional train going by. Market Square Park has a small playground covered with shade sails and with thick rubber soft fall matting as a base.

Nestled just behind the Subiaco Arts Centre, Subiaco Theatre Gardens Playspace is a lovely oasis of grass, trees, and nature play.   A fountain that creates a trickling brook runs down the centre of the park. Children are invited to build damns to block the water, and then lift the hatches to release it.  At the end of the brook is a sandpit, perfect for playing with trucks or dipping your toes.     The park has a great climbing structure with ropes, monkey bars, and balancing beams.     Along the lines of the theatre theme, there is a Read more…

It is easily accessible from the train (Fremantle line, West Leederville stop), but parking can sometimes prove challenging. Mueller Park Playspace was commissioned in 2009 as an initiative to improve facilities for children with disabilities.  Equal access is catered for through the inclusion of “activities and spaces that allow the exploration of the physical world through the use of sight, touch, sound and smell”.  Specialised play equipment was included for use by children with a range of Read more…
