A stroll-and-picnic park along the Swan River, best for pram-pushing families and little ones with energy to burn on the grass. Parents love the skyline views and shady trees.

★★★★★Featured review by Bruna Sasso

Playing in the park allows children to improve their motor skills such as running, jumping, climbing and balancing. These skills are essential for physical development and mastery of the body, providing the foundation for future sporting activities, physical activities and daily mobility. Motor development is a fundamental milestone in early childhood education, preparing children to face the challenges of the physical world.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This is really a stroll-and-picnic sort of park - think pram-friendly paths along the Swan River, tall shady trees, and plenty of grass for little ones to run around and climb on.

Jurassic kingdom , first time going and we enjoyed it. Went to the evening session. We didn’t go on any rides as 2 year old wasn’t interested, more interested looking at the dinosaurs and walking around. Will definitely go back when they visit again.

A beautiful park with stunning views of the city skyline and the Swan River. Perfect for a relaxed stroll, a picnic, or a sunset viewing. Well-maintained grounds and a very peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting!

Great place for a stroll and a picnic. Lots of tall shady trees, tables and lovely grassed areas. Wonderful shared paths along the river for walking and cycling.

Overview

This is one for slow mornings and picnic rugs rather than swings and slides: pram-friendly paths trace the Swan River, tall trees throw good shade over the grass, and there's plenty of room for little legs to run and climb. The city skyline across the water makes it a favourite for sunset, and the shared paths are handy if the older kids want to bring their bikes.
