Neil Hawkins Park in Joondalup is a beautiful, family-friendly park that’s perfectly suited to younger children and families wanting a relaxed day outdoors. Nestled alongside Lake Joondalup, it offers a lovely mix of Playground fun, nature and open grassy spaces, making it easy to spend a few hours there without needing to go anywhere else.

The Playground is set on soft sand, which is gentle on little knees and ideal for kids who love to dig and play.

A standout feature is the fire truck–themed play area, which is fantastic for imaginative play. Children can climb, explore and pretend they’re firefighters racing off to an emergency, keeping them busy and entertained.

There are also swings, which are always a hit with toddlers and older kids alike, adding variety and appeal to the play space.

There is plenty of additional equipment to keep kids engaged. A four-way see-saw is great for siblings and friends to ride together and is popular with a wide range of ages.

Younger children will enjoy the rockers, while the bongo-style drums are perfect for making noise and experimenting with rhythm.

A climbing frame with a slide adds an extra level of challenge and excitement for more confident climbers and preschoolers who love to explore and test their skills.

Neil Hawkins Park is the perfect place to bring a picnic rug and settle in for the day. Shady areas and nearby grass make it easy to set up a comfy spot while the kids go between the Playground and the open lawn. The large grassed area is great for ball games, running around, or just relaxing in the sunshine.

Being right by Lake Joondalup adds a special touch to any visit. It’s only a short stroll to the water’s edge and the jetty, where families can enjoy the peaceful views and try to spot local birdlife. With the lake so close, it’s important to keep a close eye on little ones who like to wander, but it’s a lovely opportunity to mix Playground time with a gentle nature experience.

Picnic shelters and BBQ facilities are dotted around the park, making it a popular choice for family catch-ups, birthdays and casual gatherings. With its combination of lakeside setting, sand-based Playground, swings, fire truck play area and open grass, Neil Hawkins Park is a wonderful spot for a relaxed family day out in Joondalup.
