The ultimate guide to the best all-abilities playgrounds and parks in Perth! Kids love burning off energy at parks and playgrounds, and Perth’s got some of the best in the world. We’ve seen many new all-abilities parks open up recently with some impressive play equipment, features and facilities. Best of all, they’re all FREE and they’re for EVERYONE!
Why are all-abilities playgrounds great?
The wonderful thing about all abilities playgrounds is they are designed for all children. This means kids living with a variety of disabilities, sensory issues and more can enjoy playing too. Because why should they miss out?
Enjoy wheelchair friendly, ramps, swings and roundabouts. Delight the senses with musical play or water play, or kids can get hands-on in mud kitchens or with sand tables with their friends.
We’ve added details of where playgrounds are close to local coffee shops, cafes and restaurants. Therefore you can grab a bite to eat before or after your play, or grab a takeaway coffee. Don’t forget your reusable coffee mug! 😉 Make a day of it, make some amazing memories with your family.

Point Fraser Foreshore Reserve is a must visit if you’re heading into the city for the day with older kids. The equipment in this park is more suited towards school-aged children due to the equipment and steep hills around the landscape of the park. We made our journey to the Point Fraser Reserve directly from the city, it’s very easy to find if you just follow the river edge. We came across a boardwalk which headed out towards the centre of an inlet from the main river. The kids enjoyed the walk and spotting wildlife in the river and the Read more…

Carine Open Space is one of our local and favourite parks to head to on the weekend as there are oodles to do and see.

There’s a pedestrian pathway around the main playground area and then this turns into a dirt road but still great for prams, scooters and bikes and Read more…
