Having lived in Perth for most of my life, I tend to take for granted how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful city with so many facilities provided for free. Burswood Park is a great example of this. This park is what Perth summer days and evenings should be all about.

Burswood Park has plenty of grassed area with lots of shady trees, a fantastic view of the city, and is right next to the beautiful Swan River.

The view from our picnic spot.

The playground is fully fenced, so those with young ones can be at ease that they can't run off towards the water. The ground of the playground is all soft fall, however it is black and can get a bit hot in the spots that aren't covered by the shade of the trees. The equipment seemed to be suitable for most ages of kids, though might be a bit small for the older kids.

There are at least 2 free BBQs near by, as well as toilets. Plenty of shaded spots all the way around the playground, as well as lots of spots that are only a short walk away. There is also a bench in the centre of the playground right under a beautiful large tree.

A large new carpark has recently opened, so there is plenty of places to park and it is all currently free.

There is so much you could do in this area:

• Fishing in the river
• Cycle or walk on the large paths that meander along the river
• Have a picnic or BBQ
• Watch the jet skiers (Whose designated area is just in front of the park).

BBQs in the distance and plenty of shaded spots

Why not experience some of the best Perth has on offer this weekend?
