East Cottesloe Nature Play Trail

This isn’t one playground so much as a string of discoveries beside the railway. A fenced toddler area, bike riding trail, climbing logs, sensory play, the big timber “Timbersaurus”, and a very serious high balancing challenge for older kids, are linked by a winding path through established shady trees. Opened in 2023, the trail is designed so children can keep moving, choosing the next challenge as they go.

Join the nature play trail from Railway Street around Burt Street. The connected route continues towards Perth Street and Albion Street.

The Town of Cottesloe began planning the trail in 2021 to connect two existing play areas along Railway Street. Construction started in 2023, with the finished route keeping around 50 established trees and adding more than 1,700 new plantings. The result stretches through the reserve rather than concentrating everything in one spot.

At the Perth Street end, a fenced toddler area includes a large sandpit, stump climbing, cubbies, carved fossils and a rocky lookout. Further along are a basket swing, fairy bridge, bike-skills track, balance obstacles, climbable fig trees and sensory totems. The larger “Timbersaurus” climbing structure uses reclaimed timber and rope, with more balancing challenges nearby for older children.

There are no public toilets within the trail itself, so it is worth planning ahead for younger children. In 2025, the project received the KIDSAFE National Leycester Meares Award for innovative design.
