This site is a guide to finding coffee in Perth’s playgrounds and parks, created by a Perth family.
We are a family of two children who love playgrounds, and two parents who love coffee. We made this website to tell other parents of places we have found in Perth where you have coffee in the park while the kids play on the playground.
New changes – over the Easter weekend we changed the menus – the list of parks is getting bigger and we have divided it up into a Perth Playgrounds South and Perth Playgrounds North menu. We are also compiling a list of great parks without coffee – due to the huge number of suggestions we have received from parents across Perth.
What counts as a coffee in the park?
To count as an official ‘coffee in the park’ a park need to have two essential criteria – a playground and a nearby source of takeaway espresso coffee. The two must be no more than a short walk from each other. These free public parks are listed in the two Perth Playgrounds menus.
We also know of many other great playgrounds that unfortunately don’t have a built-in source of caffeine, so while they don’t qualify as a coffee in the park, we have created a new category for the site called Great Parks – No Coffee and will soon list them here.
Under the Other Cool Places menu we have included places to play that are ‘pay for entry’ or which are fun places to play, without actually being formal playgrounds.
All the latest NEWS from Perth 
This is a great idea… to find physical and social benefits for both adults and children by way of coffee and playgrounds. Parents should bring their children to playgrounds so that they can bond and so that the children can have fun and be kids… and if coffee happens to be on the agenda as well so bit it. 🙂 Playgrounds should be promoted in any positive way possible because they have and hopefully always will be a link to the strong emotional, physical, and mental development of kids…. and parents should get to have their coffee too!
