Set in the heart of beautiful Perth Hills spot, Roleystone, Borrello Park has something for kids of all ages. Recently, the play area at the much-loved park was replaced. This park is only 15 minutes’ drive from Armadale town center, and yet it feels like you’ve travelled hours down south. It’s close to Araluen Botanic Park too.
The leafy park is particularly special during late autumn (May), when the golden leaves of the deciduous tree park begin to fall. The new play structures include an easily accessed walkway, fort and slides. The wood-chip based area is partially shaded by sails.
Little ones can toddle up the sloping ramps, and whizz down slides.
Bigger kids might like to climb the walls, swing from the monkey bars or try their skills on the obstacle-like climbing course.
A four-way see-saw provides good old-fashioned fun.
Plus, a swing set includes a toddler swing, as well as an accessible swing.
While caters to traditional playground goers, nature-based play enthusiasts won’t be disappointed. There is a running brook that provides plenty of fun. Children can have a splash, catch tadpoles, race leaves or just meander alongside the stream. It’s not deep, but with all bodies of water, be sure to supervision little kids.
There’s also a couple of little huts/wigwams amongst the trees.
They make a lovely spot for a little nature play.
The park has a wide-open grassed space, so there is plenty of room for running and kicking a ball. Or why not bring a picnic and relax under a magnificent fig tree.
This is a popular picnic spot with one BBQ and tables and chairs nearby. There’s a water fountain too.
Across the road, there’s a toilet block, next to the car park.
There is ample parking.
Plus, the quieter side of the park has a lovely gazebo for group gatherings.
Be sure to pay the brilliant Borrello Park a visit next time you’re in the Armadale region of the Perth Hills!
Borrello Park is on Orchid Drive and Billeroy Road just off Brookton Highway.
