FAULKNER PARK Feature Playground – Belmont


Corner Abernethy Road and Wright Street, Cloverdale, Perth WA

The City of Belmont has created one of the largest and most exciting playground facilities in Western Australia, and with recent extensions it is arguably Perth’s most popular adventure Playground.  Based on a ruined village theme, this feature playground provides diversity, intrigue, rigorous and memorable moments. 


The playground facility was designed and build to meet the needs of the growing number of local families in the area, and to encourage a sense of community.  The facility is providing sustainable recreational development for families and encourages the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.  As well as innovative play equipment, the facility caters for the whole family by providing shaded areas, park furniture, barbeques and a near by skate park, thus promoting the family unit to interact and spend quality time together “outdoors”.


The KOMPAN senior playground equipment within the playground consists of Slides, a Cableway, Swings and Galaxy unit. The combination of these units challenges children by engaging their curiosity and enabling endless hours of interaction and play...


The slides are built into the sides of the amazing volcano where children cannot help but find adventure with smiles and giggles as they come whooshing down either of the slides. The feeling of freedom and fearlessness that comes from a slide tickles the stomach of a child at any age. Sliding, apart from the “fun factor”, develops the visual tracking and depth perception of younger children while stimulating their spatial awareness and ability to estimate distances. 


The Cableway is another breath-taking experience in the playground for young and old. Up the ramp, count to three and then away in a rush of air. The Cableway is 20 metres in length with a smooth, controlled ride…always a favourite adventure in any playground.


The swings are simply quite a classic piece of playground equipment, where children of all ages love the excitement and relaxation of movement, swaying and swinging higher and higher...we encourage you to visit Faulkner Park and create some memorable “moments”.


The addition of the Toddlers playground in 2007 has introduced a whole new clientele and the playground is busier than ever.  The younger children are entertained for hours with the extensive junior equipment from the Moments and Elements range, including the Junior Spica, Spinner Bowl, Tug Boat, Red House, Hopper, Crocodile Bench, Billy Goat Gruff and Mighty Musketeer, Junior Double Swings, freestanding Megaphones and Binoculars. The bright blue softfall supports the access for all design.
