Les Lilleyman Reserve Playground

If you’ve got a toddler and a dog, this little North Perth spot quietly ticks a lot of boxes. The enclosure means you’re not constantly chasing a runaway two-year-old, and the shade trees actually do their job — it stays pretty comfortable even on warmer days. There’s a BBQ and picnic tables on hand, so it’s easy to make a proper afternoon of it rather than just a quick stop. The surrounding neighbourhood is genuinely quiet, which makes the whole thing feel relaxed rather than hectic. Nothing flashy, but locals with young kids keep coming back for good reason.
