School holidays are just around the corner and these exceptional playgrounds (created by Stockland) are the perfect places for playdates with friends.

Aviary Creek Park – Egerton Drive, Vale, Aveley



This 6.7-hectare park, which has been created around a natural creek, includes a waterwheel playground, yoga platform, bocce court and footy oval, all of which provide active play areas for children and Zen Zones for adults. A nearby historic water mill was the inspiration for the giant, stationary waterwheel playground, with two slides for different ability levels. Barbecue facilities and seating are available.

TIP: Factor in some additional playtime to drop into Adventure Park on Egerton Drive (a few minutes drive). This extraordinary dinosaur-themed park includes an area designed for fossil digging, a natural-themed play area with a timber maze, water troughs, a dual flying fox and climbing net and slides.

Livvi's Place – Shipwreck Park, Forrest Road, Sienna Wood, Hilbert



This outstanding $4.8 million park has already wowed families across Perth with its innovative, colourful and inclusive equipment that takes playtime to the next level. The 6.6 hectare park features an inclusive play space with a 30-metre 'shipwreck' surrounded by sand, shipping cargo, giant swings, in-ground trampolines, slides, a dual all-abilities flying fox and musical equipment. The park also includes table tennis, a basketball court and barbecue facilities.

TIP: The whole family is catered for at Sienna Wood with a large enclosed off-leash dog park for the fur babies and Mooba café overlooking the playground for a caffeine fix.

The fun of the jungle is closer than you think thanks to this adventure-themed park.
