If you havenโt discovered Kells Park yet, itโs time to save this hidden gem to your weekend list โ because itโs everything youโd want in an outdoor family day out, and more. Just 30 minutes North of Perth, this park is tucked into the heart of Alkimos but quietly nestled between a coastal estate and natural bushland. This park is both surprisingly public and charmingly hidden.
At first glance, youโll spot the beautifully landscaped playground with its large wooden fort structure โ complete with viewing platforms, climbing nets, a slide, and plenty of ropes and ladders to keep energetic kids moving. Itโs a three-level play zone that captures the imagination and challenges motor skills.
Thereโs also a spinning Supernova, ping pong table (BYO paddles!), musical drums, and talking tubes tucked throughout for interactive fun.
Got toddlers who love digging? The huge sand area is a dream, so donโt forget your buckets and spades.
Thereโs plenty of grass for running, cartwheeling or kicking a ball around, plus sheltered picnic seating and bench seats throughout. While thereโs no bathroom on site, the nearby Santorini Cafe is a short stroll away and perfect for a post-play coffee or emergency toilet break.
But what truly sets Kells Park apart is whatโs behind it โ the magical Kells Park Bush Trail. This path winds through natural, retained bushland, full of banksia trees and native plants, giving kids and parents the perfect place to walk, explore, or ride bikes. After a big rain? Itโs puddle-jumping heaven. You feel completely transported โ as if youโve left the suburbs behind for a wild, coastal forest.
Thereโs even a little naturescape area where stone steps lead into a semi-cave under a small bridge โ kids can run over the top or hide underneath, imagining theyโre on a bear hunt, jungle mission, or fairy tale adventure. Itโs the kind of open-ended play that invites curiosity, creativity, and connection.
Whether you bring a picnic, meet friends, or just come for a spontaneous afternoon out, Kells Park is a spot that invites you to stay longer, breathe deeper, and let the kids go wilder.
Plan your next outdoor adventure and bring along another mama with kids โ this oneโs too good to keep to yourself!
