Highland Range Playground, Jane Brook

Highland Range Playground in Jane Brook is a fantastic little spot for families looking to combine fresh air, nature play and active fun. Nestled in the foothills of the Darling Ranges, the Playground sits within the Highland Range estate and is surrounded by bushland and hillside views, making it feel a bit like a mini escape from suburbia.

The Playground has a strong focus on nature play, with woodchip surfacing and lots of timber elements for kids to explore. Little adventurers will love testing their balance and coordination on the stepping logs, stepping poles and balancing beams. These features are great for building confidence in younger children, while older kids will enjoy turning them into obstacle courses and imaginative games.

At the centre of the space is a multi-sided climbing structure packed with things to do. Children can clamber up climbing ladders and walls, crawl through a metal tunnel, whizz down two different slides, or brave the fireman’s pole for a quick trip back to ground level. The design encourages kids to climb, problem-solve and move their bodies in different ways, keeping them busy for ages.

Alongside the main play frame there’s a large web swing, perfect for solo swinging or for siblings and friends to share.

Families with sporty kids will appreciate the hard court area featuring both a basketball hoop and a netball ring, so it’s well worth packing a ball.

Nearby, a bike and scooter track loops around, giving kids a safe space to ride, race and practise their skills away from the road.

Amenities are minimal here, so it’s best to come prepared. There are no toilets at the Playground, and seating is limited. There’s also no grassed area to spread out on, so bringing a picnic rug or a couple of camp chairs is a good idea if you plan to stay a while. Shade is currently very limited, especially in the hotter months, so hats, sunscreen and water bottles are essential for a comfortable visit.

Despite the simple setup, Highland Range Playground offers a lot of play value. The mix of climbing, balancing, swinging, ball sports and riding means there’s something to appeal to most ages, and the natural setting adds to the adventure feel. It’s an ideal stop for local families or a fun detour if you’re exploring the Perth Hills and looking for a new Playground to discover.
