Sandy Beach Playspace, Bassendean

Sandy Beach Reserve is one of Bassendean’s most well-known natural open spaces. It now has one of the most impressive playgrounds I’ve seen. Sandy Beach Playspace has been created for children of all ages, with play equipment and nature elements for everyone to enjoy.

Located at the end of West Road Bassendean, right on the Swan River, this large reserve area includes both open grassed areas and tree-shaded areas, with the original trees surrounding the playground. During the summer months, it is a popular spot for local events.

Sandy Beach Playspace is a welcome addition to the reserve. The centrepiece of the playground is a huge play structure that consists of two large towers with bridges and smaller towers connecting them and two slides. One of the slides is suitable for the younger kids and ones that don’t like heights and whereas the other caters for thrill seekers.

There are swings and a beehive climbing frame,

a double flying fox,

tunnels,

water play and sand play, 

additional 2 slides suitable for toddlers,

 and balancing poles, balance beams, balance ropes, teepees, and so much more in this fabulous nature play-based playground.

There is also a great pathway for riding or scooting along.

The Existing toilets have been replaced and are equipped with four unisex standard cubicles, 1 unisex disabled cubicle, 1 unisex ambulant cubicle and a changing table.

Whilst all dogs still need to be on the leash in this area, there is still a large space for dogs to be exercised in the remaining reserve area.

I was so pleased to read that no trees were removed for the project and the town provided extensive landscaping around the playground as part of this project.

There are BBQs and picnic tables at Sandy Beach reserve, as well as additional picnic tables and seating around the playground. You can also sit on the grassed areas so bring your chairs and picnic rug.

Parking is not a problem as there are spaces available all around the reserve.

I’ve never seen so many people at a playground before, the adventure is endless at Sandy Beach Playspace! The kids loved exploring and being out in nature.
