Firewood Park, Yanchep

Tucked away in the suburb of Yanchep, just 47 minutes north of Perth, Firewood Park is a modest playground that’s ideal for a short stop during your day out. While it doesn’t have bathrooms or structured shade, its quiet charm and sand-based play area make it a lovely option for families with younger children.

The play area sits in a large sandpit, so be sure to bring sand toys for extra fun. There’s no overhead shade sails or roofed shelter, but a few trees provide natural shade nearby, and there are benches scattered around the space for a quick rest or snack break. Street parking is available.

Play features at Firewood Park include:

• A balance beam on springs to challenge your child’s balance and coordination

• A sand play table with seating, great for social, sensory fun

• A metal climbing structure with ladders and a slide

• A charming spiral flower spinner for spinning fun

• A Swing Set

While it’s not a full-day destination, Firewood Park is a great add-on to your Yanchep itinerary. Whether you’re heading to Yanchep National Park, splashing at Yanchep Lagoon, or finishing the day with a visit to the Orion Café by the coast, this playground makes a sweet little pit stop for kids to burn some energy.

Don’t forget to slip, slop, slap, pack hats, sunscreen, and your beach toys—and enjoy this peaceful pocket of play before heading off on your next Yanchep adventure.
