Soxon

Last updated February 2026

Soxon is a modern neighbourhood playground located on Whatley Crescent in Bayswater, situated in Perth's eastern suburbs. This well-maintained play space features contemporary climbing equipment, slides, and play structures designed to challenge and engage children across different age groups. The playground is set within a grassy reserve area that provides plenty of space for ball games and picnics. Its location in a quiet residential street makes it a popular choice for local families seeking a safe, contained play environment. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats for sun protection. Water bottles especially during warmer months. Picnic blanket for the grassy areas. Ball or frisbee for the open space. **Best Age Range** Best suited for children aged 3-10 years. The equipment includes both lower structures for toddlers and preschoolers, plus more challenging climbing elements that appeal to school-aged children. **Good to Know** Street parking is available along Whatley Crescent. No toilet facilities on site so plan accordingly. The playground has limited shade so morning visits are preferable in summer. Gets busiest on weekend afternoons. **Tips From Other Parents** Best visited in the morning during summer months before the equipment gets too hot. The open grassy area is perfect for letting older kids run around while toddlers play on the equipment. Combine with a coffee stop at nearby Bayswater cafes.
