Mandurah’s newest playground, Koolaanga Waabiny, is nothing short of EPIC! Koolaanga Waabiny Playground is the latest addition to the redevelopment of Mandurah’s Western Foreshore, which also includes the construction of the Mandurah Skate Park which opened in 2020, a new toilet block facility and the meeting place artwork which were both completed in 2021. The name is pronounced kool-lung-ga waa-bin, and translates to children playing (Waabiny) and also refers to the local Swamp Sheoak trees (Koolaanga).
The main feature is the Swamp Sheoak tree inspired 12m high climbing tower, which also features a 3-meter-long fully accessible ramp, speaking tubes from the top to the bottom, lookouts with binoculars, monkey bars, a small double slide and a fun spiral slide.
In front of the tower is an 8 seater viking snake swing.
To the right, there are balancing logs and a human hamster wheel.
Left of the tower is a large fully fenced play space featuring every swing you can imagine, climbing obstacles, sand and music play, speaking tubes, rockers, a concrete slide, stepping longs and a roundabout.
The Mandurah Skate Park is designed for beginners to advanced users, so definitely pack the kids bike, skateboard or scooter… don’t forget their helmets. Within the Skate Park, there’s a half basketball court.
Koolaanga Waabiny Playground also features toilets with baby change facilities, plenty of BBQs and seating.
I highly recommend packing the kid’s swimmers… because what kid doesn’t love a splash in the estuary?!
