A NEW playground designed for preschoolers aged one to four is ready for its first adventurers at Braithwaite Park in Mt Hawthorn. 

Vincent’s youngest residents will be treated to a fresh adventure as they navigate through the spacious and accessible play elements, with plenty of space for parents to move around with their prams.

Play equipment in the park includes a cubby house, cafe play area, swings, sliding pole, bird’s nest swing seat, monkey bars, two slides and a bike track on softfall.

The City of Vincent received feedback from local families through community consultation in 2023. 

Construction works commenced in May. The build was completed this month.

“Braithwaite Park is a prime destination for families with different-aged children,” Vincent mayor Alison Xamon said.

“The park was already home to a great nature play area for older children, and now there’s a brand-new space just for Vincent’s youngest residents to enjoy.

“We listened to feedback from families and delivered several features they asked for as part of the toddler playground, including a cafe front, bike track on softfall and a cubby house.

“It also has more space between the equipment, making it more accessible for young ones to explore with their parents or guardians.

“We’re proud to complete our upgrades at the park and encourage families to check it out.”

The council says next on the list of playground renewals is Birdwood Square in Perth, Beatty Park Reserve, Edinboro Street Reserve and the smaller playground in Hyde Park.
