All Things to Do for Kids in Perth

Considering Wanneroo is built on old market garden land, it is very fitting that the recently upgraded Frederick Duffy Park is farming themed.

At the centre of the park is a big gazebo with a BBQ, picnic tables and a water fountain. Leading off from the picnic area is a circular concreted path, great for little kids on scooters and bikes. Connecting the picnic area to the toddler playground are some “naturescape” style stepping stones and Read more…

Olives Reserve is a great little park in Como with a brand new playground. The playground is sand based and features 2 slides, rope ladders, a fireman’s pole, wobbly bridge, rock climbing wall and swings.

The rock climbing wall was a favourite with miss 3 spending lots of time trying to navigate and work it out. While great, the playground is probably best suited to kids over 3 as lots of the equipment is rope-based. There’s plenty of grassed area Read more…
