Have you ever heard of, or seen, another park, anywhere in the world that has a robot head for a cubby house? No. Robot Park in Piara Waters features the awesome cubby house, along with other robot-themed pieces of play equipment. There is a large play structure with ropes and slides, plus a flying fox, swings, nature play, picnic tables and a public toilet.

At the heart of this fantastic playground is a shipwreck facade, complete with heaps of ship-themed play activities, innovate play spaces, slides, sand and water play and a flying fox with an accessible seat. It also has several sets of swings, public toilets, barbecues, undercover picnic tables and even a
Mooba Cafe for all your caffeine needs. Oh, and it's also fully fenced - great for parents of little kids who like to run.

Memorial Park is situated in the heart of the Armadale city centre, and is, not surprisingly, the location for the city's war memorial. The park also features a fantastic playground, with several climbing structures, including one shaped like a train, a unique four-seater see-saw, musical play, a train station, swings and a tripod swing. The local skate park is located just across the road from Memorial Park.
There is a toilet at the park, plus more at the shopping centre or over at one of the two fast food restaurants right across the street. Being so close to the shops and Jull Street Mall, there are plenty of places to grab a coffee before the kids have a play.

Frye Park features a nautical theme with an awesome little pirate ship play structure, which has a unique 'child-powered' musical feature. The kids have to turn a handle to power up the music, which belts out some awesome tunes to get moving to! The park is mostly suited to toddlers and preschoolers. It also features a tripod swing, swings and a separate, fenced toddler area. There is a shaded picnic area, plus toilets located at the nearby Frye Park Pavilion.

This beautiful, largely naturally shaded park is great for toddlers and preschoolers looking for some adventure. It has a fort with a ramp and slides, plus various bits of play equipment, swings, climbing apparatus and a play digger. There is also a toilet onsite.
Borrello Park
Benbecula Circle, Bedfordale
Although small, Benbecula Park has recently undergone a redevelopment to make it more appealing to local families and visitors. Whereas before the makeover, it had little more than a set of swings and an undercover picnic area, but now includes a timber climbing frame, heaps of nature play and even outdoor exercise equipment!
So why not get the kids out of the house for a few hours and tick each and every one of these fantastic parks off your to-do list.
