The Buggybuddys Guide to Water Parks with Free Entry in Perth
The guide includes Splash play areas and Swimming Pools with Free Entry. Find a “water park near me” using our interactive Google map. Most water parks Perth close during the summer months, so check the individual websites or Facebook pages for opening times.
Around Perth, there are a number of free to use splash pads or pools available. Pack a towel and a change of clothes, because kids won’t be able to resist! For example, Hyde Park, Elizabeth Quay and Yagan Square in the city all have free to use water features available.
