This was a very, very pretty park. And in a highly random corner, hidden away from the busyness of a major road going past.
The slide there is... quite bad, the swing is OK, and the see-saw is joyous fun.

Park 13: Harold Boas Gardens, West Perth
Just across the way from Harbour Town, and right near the city, this playground is in a lovely public gardens.
It has swings, spinny things, climby things, a difficult slide, and a good pole.
Plus it's pretty and shady.

Park 12: Mueller Park, Subiaco
This playground is nice and shady, but not much for playing.
The main body is constructed of a series of ramps between platforms. It has three slides: one decent, one bad, and one baby-sized, and it also has naughts and crosses. And nice colourful plastic circles.
There used to be a great playground in the opposite corner of the park, but it seems sometime in the past few years they tore it down to build a tiny-kids playground area near-ish. It had swings and a really good slide. It will be missed.

Park 11: Shenton Park
Great park in Shenton Park, with two closeby playground areas.
There are four slides in total, two of which are quite good. There is a springy thing, 3 sets of swings (and another swing), a flying fox, a climby thing, a rolly thing, and Xs & Os.
Matty got beaten up by the kiddy swing. Twice.
Plus it has the epic surround of Jualbup Lake.

Park 10: John & Jean Mulder Park, Claremont
This park has THREE adult-sized swings.
There are lots of trees around, as well as a big random pile of rocks; both of which are good for climbing.
The slides weren't too bad. It also has a flying fox.

Park 9: Jersey St (south corner), Jolimont
This playground was pretty good.
The spiral slide is great! There is a nice bridge, a naughts and crosses thing, and a platform large enough that you could have a picnic on it.
There is also a tree stump that looks like an elephant!

Park 8: Cliff Sadlier Reserve, Daglish
This playground is in a great location: not only it the park (reserve) enormous, with three swingsets overall and a basketball court at the other end, the immediate area to the playground is great. There is a barbeque, a swingset (and another 40m away), a water fountain, shaded picnic tables, the works!
The playground itself has three slides, one of which is a little baby slide, and none of which are very good. However it does have a bridge, a noughts and crosses thing, and all the things you could possibly want to climb around. Plus that awesome rubbery floor stuff.
