Rio Tinto is amazing natural playground for the kids as well as their parents to spend their time playing, climbing and exploring the place. It was a great experience, thank goodness we had a chance to go there since it was closed few weeks ago for some renovations. It would be better to keep a close eyes on your kids cause they might get hurt so easily. What my kids liked most was the ropes playing area. The playground close at 4pm, so better to come early.

What a fabulous place! My grandchildren absolutely loved it. They're 3 and 1 and had a great time playing in the water and exploring the park. Naturescape is a very apt name. I can't wait to take them back when they're older, when they'll be able to access even more of the park's facilities.

Lovely place for kids to play and learn, informative and fun. Challenging climbs and ropes, and nice water area to tread water and also a stone pit to make stone stacks and forms. Bumped into a staff member also who was very friendly and helpful.

A really well put together nature play, and 100% worth a visit if you have kids. Being a nature lover, I’m not personally a fan of the pumped artificial creek, but the kids enjoyed it! Lots to explore here…

Nice place, but almost always closed. They close it when its hot even though no fire activity in this place, not even a gas bbq. What's the point in having a water park activity if you close it when people need it the most?????????????????????????

Stupid opening hours, so many people arrived the same time as I did on a sunny Saturday (we drove an hour to get there) and we all arrived to a closed gate and a sign saying 8:30-12:30. What park is open those hours on a warm weekend in the school holidays? Absolutely stupid.

There are many different areas within the nature scape to explore. You can wade in the water, but it is advised not to go deeper than the knees as the water is not treated. We attended during school holidays and they had a fun worksheet you could complete also.

Excellent park aimed at those adventurous kids who love all things nature, water and climbing! The park has a long winded loops of foot paths with various play spaces with mainly climbing equipment aimed at the older kids that can climb safely - not very ideal for toddlers. There's also no rubbish bins or picnicking areas, as well as time limits due to COVID-19 so keep your visits short.

Such a great place to visit with the kids. Being a change of clothes though because of the water play.

What a beautiful place to visit when you come to Perth 👍

It was a wonderful place to explore with a small child. Great to see wildlife in the water where children play.

The local and state government have all done a fantastic job at creating and maintaining some of the worlds best public spaces and this is another fine example. The naturescape is an amazing place for people of all ages to learn about Australia's long and rich history. Weather a tourist or local I encourage everyone to check it out.

Rio Tinto Naturescape is a hidden gem in the heart of Perth, Western Australia. As an avid nature lover, I was thrilled to discover this unique and immersive outdoor experience. First and foremost, the design and layout of Rio Tinto Naturescape are truly impressive. The park is divided into different zones, each representing a distinct Western Australian landscape. From the lush wetlands to the arid desert, every area is meticulously crafted to resemble its natural counterpart. This attention to detail creates an authentic and educational environment for visitors of all ages. One of the highlights of Rio Tinto Naturescape is the emphasis on hands-on learning. The park encourages children to explore, discover, and engage with nature in a safe and controlled setting. There are numerous interactive activities and play areas that promote creativity, problem-solving, and physical activity. From building cubbies to climbing trees, kids are encouraged to get their hands dirty and truly connect with the natural world. What sets Rio Tinto Naturescape apart from other parks is its commitment to environmental sustainability. The park utilizes recycled and natural materials in its construction, and there is a strong focus on conservation and biodiversity. Visitors can learn about the importance of preserving our natural resources and the role they play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Another aspect that impressed me was the knowledgeable and friendly staff. They are always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure the safety of visitors. Their passion for nature and commitment to education is evident in their interactions with both children and adults. In terms of facilities, Rio Tinto Naturescape offers ample amenities for visitors. There are clean and well-maintained toilets, picnic areas, and even a café where you can grab a bite to eat or a refreshing drink. The park is also wheelchair accessible, making it inclusive for all visitors. The only downside I can think of is that the park can get quite busy, especially during weekends and school holidays. However, this is a testament to its popularity and the positive impact it has on the community. Overall, Rio Tinto Naturescape is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking to reconnect with the natural world. It offers a unique and immersive experience that combines education, adventure, and environmental sustainability. I highly recommend spending a day exploring this incredible park and discovering the wonders of Western Australia's diverse landscapes.

nice place for kids. closed on monday

Impressive, someone really designed and created it just for kids. Will be going back to explore the rest. Make sure you bring several changes of clothes for your little ones

This is the way children should play. Visiting Naturescape was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed building a fort with branches and just exploring and enjoying nature in this unique setting. Wish there were more of these playgrounds around. You can easily spend an entire day here, be prepared for water play, getting dirty and your children not wanting to leave.

This is a fantastic nature playground for kids of all ages in the heart of Kings Park. It is free to enter. There are maps and a lot of signs explaining the do's and don'ts of the area. There are many different areas within the nature scape to explore. You can wade in the water, but it is advised not to go deeper than the knees as the water is not treated. We attended during school holidays and they had a fun worksheet you could complete also (photos attached).

Wonderful park for children (and adults). Well thought of layouts and design. Lots of activities and even a water feature in the middle. Just need to ensure that you're adequately attired and have lots of sun screen!

Naturescape is a wonderful park for young children. Was nice to go back now my children are older, but still like to be youthful sometimes. Was lovely to snap some of the beautiful wild flowers

Hidden gem! Water play areas, plenty to climb with lovely views of the local flora. Nice just for a walk and made us adults feel like kids exploring the world again.

Great place for the kids to explore, from climbing towers to playing in the running water, safe and fun

Lots to climb, lots of interesting things for the kids, many beautiful wild flowers, unfortunately l am not able to identify them all

Easy to find and plenty of free parking at the entry. No bins at all so take a bag for your rubbish! Fabulous rock pool to explore, playgrounds with lots to climb & tree walks. A great day out!

Such a thoughtfully designed play space for kids that make them think they are playing in nature. Kids love getting wet and going climbing on the rocks and on the play equipment.

Nice place to bring kids! Something different from the usual city parks. The small river stream is the highlight where almost everyone gathers there.

Wow, what a fantastic place for kids to play. Set in nature & beautiful backdrop with interesting equipment for children of all ages to try out. Little pond where kids can dunk their little toes to walk around in & throw some pebbles to pass time. Do check for opening hours as they aren’t open daily.

Great day out for the family

A great playground for kids to have fun and explore.

Terrific natural area with streams and ponds. Lots of structure for kids to climb. Suitable for children 3 plus years old.

A great spot for kids. Definitely needs signs to point out the toilets for people unfamiliar with the space.

Great place for families to explore. There is number of large wooden climbing structures. Watering hole is perfect for little ones. Water isn't too deep. Perfect spot for a picnic. Toilet facilities are located here.

I’ll try not to bang on about the fact that an industry like mining should not be funding children’s play areas. It seemed so blatant to me that the goal was to seed the idea from a young age that the mining industry is a) a great vocation opportunity and b) an industry that actually cares about societal and environmental issues. (vomit). I’m acutely aware that that industry has been the sole reason that Perth has seen such great economic prosperity over the last few decades, so I get it. All of this aside, my toddlers (2 & 3) didn’t really ‘get it’. It was over thought out and they kept asking ‘where the playground was’.

Absolutely awesome playground! Our girls wished they could had stayed much longer. We had great fun. Highly recommend.

We went as a large group of 5 families. It was lovely to have a walk around with the kids in the afternoon. We found a cabana to put our food and drink down (being mindful of the birds). There was a neat toilet available and accessible and lots of courses for the kids to climb.

A great place for kids young and old, to run, play, climb and explore in a safe enclosed playground amongst nature.

Nice and very big park, with variety of entertainment.

Such a beautiful natural play space. Highly recommend for people of all ages! Make sure you bring a rug to sit on, bathers and a towel.

Such a wonderful, interactive and well looked after place!! Hidden in Kings Park, you wouldn't even know you are in the city! Kids and I spent hours here and plan on coming back! 🙌

Great for young kids. Plenty to explore with good shallow water areas.

Great place to visit. Forces some creative and imaginative play. Somthing kids don't use much anymore in 2024. Shame to see so many people not follw the few rules though.

love this little patch of walks and rocks in middle of city. my kids love calm puddles of running stream waters with lots of nature to see and learn from. quite a few native species here so watch out for them. great place for hot days or may be any day.

Fantastic

This is an awesome spot for the kids. Free entry, free parking and the kids all love it.

We visited with our 8 year old and 2 and a half year old grandsons. We had 2 hours only and stayed in one area as they wanted to play in the water but if time was not an issue we could have stayed a full day! Beautiful naturescape, covering every child's adventurous dream. We will be back for sure.

My little man loves this place! Such an amazing little hidden gem.

Fun place to introduce nature to kids age 3+. You can climb, explore maze, play in the water, and picnic. Got restroom in the middle of the park. But the trail bit rough for small stroller, but overall, it's a fun place.

Great location kids love it! Tip Take some thongs to wear in the brook as the river rocks,though smooth are really hard to walk on!

Lovely place happy I went good experience

Great day out with the kids, lots of places to explore

A great place for kids to explore

Great for kids

Great for little explorers!

The kids would love this place a great place for children to enjoy themselves and go on different adventures

Perfect way for the kids to be outdoors enjoying nature

such a wonderful playground

Love going to this park have been here many times - it's good for adults and kids alike - lots of rocks to climb and a stream to play with

Absolutely awesome.

Awesome park with native vegetation and a semi-natural forest setting. It's set up for kids to explore, play and learn about the environment. There are places to climb, make cubby houses, or paddle in a stream / pond. There are activities for kids from the ages of 1 to maybe 10 or so. Adults will need to watch their heads in many places as the play equipment is sized for kids.

Good place.

(Translated by Google) Proud of Perth. A space of great vitality. I recommend it. (Original) 퍼스의 자랑. 멋진 활력의 공간. 추천합니다.

Great park, excellent place for kids to explore and play.

Not much to do in winter! If there was an actual play ground it would be awesome

Superb spot for kids. Take some dry clothes.

TERRIBLE SIGNAGE. Wondered around for 2 hours tryin to get in she. We found it it was closing time. Not good to get around if you're taking a pram. Try harder Perth.

Great spot to relax and listen to the birds tweeting in the trees

Great place for kids to explore

Loads of shade, lots of fun and interactive activities, the creek was a huge hit for water play!

Closed all of February 2020

Great place but inwas expecting just a bit more fun

A rustic playground that kids can explore. Good for ages 3 and up...bring bathers and drinking water available.

Clean and safe for kids.

Great for older kids. Toilets can be tricky to find the first time round.

Excellent Australian Bush adventure play space. The running water is soothing, and each area keeps the kids happy too. The formal classes for 3-5 year olds, Zippy's adventures, is excellently planned and executed. Each lesson having a story, a craft, learning about the bush and Noongar words. Runs in line with school term.
