North Inch, Playground

Right on the banks of the Tay, this is one of those playgrounds that actually has enough to keep kids busy for a decent stretch — slides, swings, a tire swing, merry-go-round, and a sandbox that younger ones will refuse to leave. The open grass field alongside it means older kids (and parents with a football) have plenty of room to spread out. It’s genuinely all ages, so you’re not stuck somewhere that only works for one child. The Perth Museum is a short walk away if you want to make a proper day of it, and the sports centre nearby means you can tag on a swim or a court session. Locals use this park hard, which is honestly the best recommendation it needs.
