    Clarko Reserve, Trigg

    

    Clarko Reserve is a coastal reserve located at Trigg Beach at the end of Karrinyup Road. The jewel colours of the verdant green grass and shimmering blue sea beyond the dunes is a feast for the eyes. At a sheltered end of the reserve, near the beach car park, is a good sized playground with equipment to suit a range of children. I feel toddlers through to six year olds would probably enjoy this one most. The playground has three slides, including a tall corkscrew slide, noughts and crosses blocks, a coloured ball abacus, and a fireman pole. Soft sand surrounds Read more…

    Coogee Beach Playground

    

    Coogee Beach Playground is a relaxed, family‑friendly spot where a simple day at the beach easily turns into hours of play. Set along the beautiful Coogee foreshore on Powell Road, it combines a classic coastal Playground with a wide grassy reserve and direct access to the sheltered waters of Coogee Beach. The first thing you notice is the generous strip of lush grass running alongside the sand. It’s ideal for spreading out a picnic blanket, kicking a footy, playing cricket or just letting the kids run laps. Little ones will happily turn it into their own “race track”, while parents Read more…

    Rosslare Park Mindarie

    

    Tucked inside Mindarie Marina, Rosslare Park feels like a bit of a local secret, and it’s a brilliant spot for young families who want a beach day without waves and crowds. The little beach here sits in a sheltered enclave of the marina, so the water is shallow and very calm. It’s ideal for toddlers and younger children to paddle, splash and play without the worry of big swells, and perfect for floating a small blow‑up dinghy or other gentle water toys. The calm, protected waters also make it a fantastic spot for older kids and adults to try out Read more…

    Iluka Foreshore Park is a nautical themed nature playground that kids of all ages are guaranteed to love! Iluka Foreshore Park is separated into three sections, the first consists of a wooden boat, it was perfect for my toddler to play on, he loved steering the boat and climbing the steps to the slide.

    The Lido, Mandurah

    Buggybuddys Review
    

    Looking for a calm beach spot for kids to play in Mandurah? The Lido, also known as Marina South Harbour Beach and the Children’s Beach, is found next to Keith Holmes Reserve. It’s an ideal place for a family get-together or picnic, with plenty of facilities and being right by the marina at Mandurah’s Dolphin Quay. The protected waters are shallow and calm at The Lido. Its accessibility is what makes it a brilliant spot for a splash for all.
