Dutch Inn Playground

Locals know this one’s a bit of a gem for families doing the Cottesloe beach run. The enclosed area makes it genuinely easy to relax — you can actually sit in the shade and watch the kids on the slides and swings without constantly chasing them toward the road. It’s clean, well-designed, and the grass field gives older kids room to burn off whatever energy the swings didn’t. Time it right and you’ve got ocean views and a sunset that makes the whole trip feel worth it even on a chaotic school afternoon.
