Located on Scarborough Beach Road, Braithwaite Park has long been cherished by Perth families for its innovative nature playground. The park has recently undergone an exciting transformation with a complete renovation of its toddler area, creating a comprehensive play space that caters to children of all ages.
Newly Renovated Toddler Area
The original toddler playground built in 2003 has been completely reimagined as a purpose-built space specifically designed for the youngest visitors. This thoughtfully designed area features:
- Full fencing for safety and peace of mind
- Soft flooring throughout to cushion tumbles
- Three distinct play zones catering to different developmental stages
The first zone features a larger climbing structure complete with rock wall, monkey bars, climbing rope, fireman’s pole and slide. While designed with older toddlers in mind, this area provides an excellent challenge for older siblings accompanying their younger brothers and sisters.
For those just finding their feet, the second zone offers age-appropriate challenges with easy low ladders, tic tac toe panels, stepping stones and a smaller slide that’s perfect for new walkers taking their first playground adventures.
The third zone centers around a delightful café-style cubby house, complete with shop front, pretend menu and tunnels. This area is ideal for imaginative play and provides crawlers and early walkers with safe spaces to explore.
A variety of swings cater to all ages, including a bird nest swing, standard toddler swing, and baby swing, ensuring no child misses out on the fun.
Nature Play Area
The park’s renowned nature play area continues to delight older children with its adventure-focused design. Primarily created for 10-14 year olds but enjoyed by children of all ages, this area embraces the philosophy of nature-based play with:
- Natural elements like logs and stepping stones
- Challenging rope obstacles and bridges
- Exciting zip line
- Water feature (tip: bring towels and spare clothes!)
- Cubby houses surrounded by growing plants for imaginative play
